Infection Positivity Among Sexual Contacts to Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, STI Surveillance Network, 2021–2023
Substantial CT/NG positivity among sexual contacts to CT or NG was observed. Among CT contacts, CT infection was most often detected in MSW; among NG contacts, NG infection was most often detected in women. However, ~60% did not have either CT or NG. The use of point-of-care tests in this population may optimize antimicrobial use while prioritizing individual clinical care.
