Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis Genital Infection Among Sexually Experienced Females Aged 14 to 24 Years by Race/Ethnicity, United States: 2011 to March 2020
Nationally, CT prevalence was 2.5 times as high among Black A/YA females than the average prevalence for Hispanic, NHO, and White females. Inclusion of behavioral sexually transmitted infection risk factors did not attenuate this association. Research incorporating sexual network-level factors associated with CT transmission may provide additional insights.
