Will screening young people halt the chlamydia epidemic?
BJSM, Volume 30, Number 2.

The National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP) is being rolled out across England and Wales. Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the UK: in 2005 109,958 diagnoses were made in genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics alone. The highest prevalence of infection is in women aged 16–19 (1,359 per 100,000) and men aged 20–24 (1,070 per 100,000). Prevalence falls sharply in both sexes over the age of 25.
