Objective To assess the prevalence of potential sexually transmitted organisms in a non‐clinical setting, among college students in Northern Norway. Methods In total 655 students, 449 men and 206 women, were tested for Chlamydia trachomatis , M. genitalium , and U. urealyticum by nucleic acid amplification testing of urine samples. All subjects completed questionnaires. Results Among the included men, the prevalences of C. trachomatis , M. genitalium , and U. urealyticum were 4.2%, 1.1% and 8.9%, respectively. Prevalence among included women was 1.9%, 1% and 8.2%, respectively. In men, the number of sexual partners in the preceding 6 months was associated with prevalence of U. urealyticum and C. trachomatis . Conclusions U. urealyticum appeared more prevalent than C. trachomatis and increased number of sexual partners was associated with increased risk of a positive test. M. genitalium had a low prevalence. Article in Journal/Newspaper Northern Norway Wiley Online Library Norway Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology 27 1 e91 e96 |
