Chlamydia is a very common sexually transmissible infection that can lead to infertility in women. About 4% of young adults have it, yet most are unaware they have it. Chlamydia is easy to diagnose and treat, but it is not known whether annual testing can reduce its spread. Over1 million tests are conducted each year in general practice, costing the government $30 million. This evaluation of a well-established trial of chlamydia testing in young adults will resolve the debate of whether annual testing works and is a good use of money.

衣原体是一种非常常见的性传播感染，可导致女性不孕。大约 4% 的年轻人患有这种疾病，但大多数人并不知道自己患有这种疾病。衣原体很容易诊断和治疗，但尚不清楚每年检测是否可以减少其传播。一般实践中每年进行超过 100 万次检测，政府花费 3000 万美元。对一项成熟的年轻人衣原体检测试验的评估将解决年度检测是否有效以及是否有效利用资金的争论。
