Chlamydia Screening in<br />

Heterosexual Males<br />

� Screening in heterosexual males not routinely<br />

recommended<br />

� Need evidence <strong>of</strong> reduction <strong>of</strong> infection in<br />

women to be cost effective<br />

� However, selective screening in high<br />

prevalence clinics (e.g. adolescent, corrections,<br />

<strong>STD</strong>) may be beneficial<br />

� Modeling suggests prevalence among males<br />

should be at least 6%*<br />

� CDC will develop separate guidance in this<br />

area*<br />

* Discussed at the<br />

2006 Guidelines Meeting
