- This study estimated the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) among sexually active, asymptomatic, multiethnic adolescent males attending preventive health maintenance visits at pediatric clinics within a large health maintenance organization. First-void urines of sexually active 14-18-year-old males were screened for CT. The CT infection rate was 4% (27/711), 95% CI = 2.5%, 5.5%.
