To inform Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection control, the objectives of the second Slovenian National Survey of Sexual Lifestyles, Attitudes, and Health in 2016-2017 were to estimate the prevalence of and identify risk factors for CT infection among sexually experienced 18- to 49-year-olds in Slovenia.Data were collected from a probability sample of the general population 18 to 49 years old. Respondents were invited to provide a urine specimen for CT testing. Data were analyzed using STATA 15 survey commands to account for stratification and clustering.Of 1,046 CT test results of sexually experienced respondents included in the analyses, the weighted prevalence of CT infection was 0.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.1-1.9) in men and 1.7% (95% CI: 0.9-3.3) in women. The highest prevalence was among women 18 to 24 years old (5.6%; 95% CI: 2.0-14.4). Women 18 to 49 years old with a new sex partner in the last year had higher odds of CT infection (adjusted odds ratio: 8.9, 95% CI: 2.5-31.9).The introduction of annual opportunistic testing for CT should be considered for sexually active women25 years old, and testing should be offered at primary healthcare gynecology clinics to older women reporting a new sex partner during the past year. |
