Summary
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common treatable sexually transmissible infection acquired in New Zealand. An effective chlamydia management programme requires increased testing of those with known risk factors, along with prompt identification and treatment of their sexual contacts.
These draft guidelines provide recommendations for the opportunistic testing and treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis. The guidelines were developed by the Sexual Health Advisory Group.
A two-page summary of the recommendations is also available.
