Frequent mouthwash users had a lower prevalence of chlamydia compared with occasional users (8.33% vs 23.93%, P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.05). In comparison with participants who consistently used condoms, those who used condoms occasionally and never used condoms were 1.8 (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.838, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.011\u20133.375) and 4.5 (aOR 4.538, 95% CI 1.259\u201316.362) times more likely to be frequent mouthwash users, respectively. Participants with more sexual partners who engaged in kissing (aOR 1.060, 95% CI 1.019\u20131.103), receptive oral sex (aOR 1.065, 95% CI 1.024\u20131.108), insertive oral sex (aOR 1.043, 95% CI 1.014\u20131.072) and receptive anal sex (aOR 1.076, 95% CI 1.027\u20131.127) were more likely to be frequent mouthwash users.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MSM with more sexual partners or lower condom use frequency were more likely to be frequent mouthwash users.
