Rates of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections among men are persistently high across multiple data sources, representing a variety of age, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic, and risk groups.

Summary: Screening adolescent men for chlamydia in School-Based Health Clinics in Baltimore and Denver demonstrated a prevalence of 6.8% and identified age and black race as variables associated with testing chlamydia positive.

A screening program for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections conducted in the Philadelphia Family Court System identified infection in 134 of 1594 (8.4%) adolescents.

Repeat chlamydia infection occurred in 13% of men enrolled from 3 US cities. Incidence of repeat infection was 45.4 infections per 100 person years.

The laboratory test of choice for screening men for Chlamydia trachomatis is a nucleic acid amplification test, and the specimen of choice is first-catch urine.

The Philadelphia high-school STD Screening Program (PHSSP) represents an innovative approach to screening-based control of Chlamydia trachomatis infection. We created a dynamic transmission model using a susceptible-infectious-resistant-susceptible framework that simulates the PHSSP. Important insights are gained through dynamic transmission modeling of the PHSSP, including the attractiveness of screening males for prevention of sequelae of infection in females. Such insights are not provided by traditional health economic models.

A compartmental transmission model was created using data from a male chlamydia screening study to examine the cost-effectiveness of screening men for chlamydia. Screening high-risk men was a cost-effective alternative to screening lower-risk women.

Chlamydia trachomatis positivity among asymptomatic males tested in selected non-STD clinic venues is sufficiently high to consider venue-based male screening as an important adjunct to chlamydia control efforts.

The acceptability and uptake of urine-based screening for Chlamydia trachomatis among asymptomatic men is influenced by the context in which screening is offered. Barriers to testing exist, even when testing is free.

Partner notification with chlamydia-infected patients needs to be centered around patient-led referral, but enhancements to basic referral and broader monitoring are both effective and needed.

A literature review of screening men for chlamydia found few studies comparing male with female screening. Screening men was generally not preferable to screening women, but screening high-risk men could be cost-effective.
