Abstract

Abstract : There were 37.6% of women reporting anal sex who were tested for chlamydia. Those whose provider asked if they had vaginal/anal/oral sex were more likely to be tested than those whose provider did not. Abstract: Using the 2013–2017 National Survey of Family Growth, 37.6% of women with ≥1 anal sex partner in the last 12 months reported chlamydia testing at unspecified anatomic sites in the past 12 months. Women whose medical provider asked about type of sex (i.e., vaginal, oral, anal), compared with those whose provider did not, reported higher chlamydia testing.
