They were tested for CT and\n Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic>\n (NG) using Cepheid Xpert\u00ae POC tests. Behaviors were assessed using a questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to evaluate factors associated with CT infections.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n A total of 1885 participants were enrolled between 2019 and 2021, with 89.7% identifying as MSM. Of all participants, 15.9% were living with HIV (PLHIV), 20.6% initiated PrEP, 31.7% were already using it, and 31.8% had never used PrEP.<\/jats:p>\n Of all participants, 13.4% and 18.8% tested positive for NG and CT, respectively. CT prevalence was associated with age groups: 34.6% in 18\u201319\u00a0years (AOR 3.2), 24.1% in 20\u201324\u00a0years (AOR 1.7), compared to 14.5% in those \u226525 years. CT prevalence was higher in PLHIV (28.3%) compared to those who were HIV-negative and had never used PrEP (17.0%).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Almost one-fifth of Thai MSM and TGW had CT infection.
