Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of genital chlamydial infection in male military recruits in Stockholm, Sweden. Two hundred and thirty-eight men who admitted to sexual experience were included in the study. One hundred and five (44%) of these 238 men consented to a specimen being taken for chlamydial culture. Eleven (10%) of these 105 men had a positive chlamydial culture. All 11 men were 17–18 years old and 10 were asymptomatic. In order to decrease the prevalence of chlamydial infection, screening of young men is as essential as screening of women.Keywords
