[GenitalChlamydia trachomatisinfection and associated risk factors in male clients attending sexually transmitted disease clinics in 9 cities in Guangdong province].
Objective:To investigate the prevalence of genitalChlamydia trachomatis(GCT) infection and associated risk factors in male clients attending sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics in Guangdong and provide integrated intervention strategy for this group.Methods:Convenient sampling was used to recruit participants from April to June in 2015 in Guangdong province. The information about their socio-demographic characteristics and sexual behaviors were collected by using a questionnaire, and blood samples were taken from them to test the antibodies against HIV, syphilis and HCV. First pass urine was taken to test GCT and gonorrhea.Results:A total of 1 749 participants with the average age of 39.53 years were recruited. The majority of them were married (73.87%, 1 292/1 749), residents of Guangdong (92.28%, 1 614/1 749) and in Han ethnic group (99.49%, 1 740/1 749). The positive rates for GCT, HIV, syphilis, HCV,Neisseria gonorrhea, and WBC in urinalysis were 6.06% (106/1 749), 0.46% (8/1 749), 3.43% (60/1 749), 0.45% (7/1 550), 2.74% (48/1 749), 7.89% (138/1 749) respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that risk factors for GCT infection include IDUs (OR=13.98, 95%CI: 3.35-58.38), anal sex with men (OR=3.11, 95%CI: 1.45-6.71),Neisseria gonorrheapositive (OR=9.64, 95% CI: 5.09-18.24), and WBC positive (OR=1.96, 95%CI: 1.08-3.55).Conclusions:This study demonstrated the high prevalence of GCT infection in male clients attending STD clinics in Guangdong. Therefore precision intervention should target this population at high-risk.
