Retrospective data were collected and analysed. Demographic differences by CT and GC positivity were evaluated along with factors associated with CT and GC status. A total of 2853 tests were conducted among individuals aged 15\u201325 years. A total of 2060 (72%) females and 793 (28%) males were tested. Of those tested, 488 (17%) individuals tested positive for either CT or GC or both; 400 (14%) were positive for CT, 139 (5%) were positive for GC. The prevalence for GC was 8.8% ( n\u2009=\u200970) in males compared to 3.3% ( n\u2009=\u200969) in females ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and the prevalence of CT was 16% ( n\u2009=\u2009127) for males compared to 13.3% ( n\u2009=\u2009273) for females ( p\u2009=\u20090.057). Women in a high-risk population are more likely to get tested for sexually transmitted infections; however, men are more likely to test positive for CT and GC. Get Yourself Tested is an important campaign to encourage wider spread testing among populations at risk in Cook County.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462414536541","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,27]],"date-time":"2014-05-27T22:52:17Z","timestamp":1401231137000},"page":"322-328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Get Yourself Tested 2011\u20132012: Findings and prevalence of\n                    <i>Chlamydia trachomatis<\/i>\n                    and\n                    <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/i>\n                    at an urban public health system"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Alicia","family":"Roston","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Family Planning, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, John H.
