Patients were asked about their symptoms, use of condoms and change of sexual partner.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The prevalence of non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU\u2014chlamydia positive and negative urethritis) was 37% (131 of 356). C. trachomatis was shown to be the causative organism in 24% (31 of 131) of patients with NGU. The prevalence of other STDs in men with C. trachomatis and with non-chlamydial urethritis was 15% and 10% respectively. Men with C. trachomatis were significantly more likely than men with non-chlamydial urethritis to be asymptomatic (56% vs 35%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The prevalence of C. trachomatis was highest in men who had changed partner in the previous 3 months (20 of 32 men). A third of men never used condoms in the first 3 months of a new relationship and over half failed to use them after 3 months. There was no evidence that the reported use of condoms reduced the rate of infection with C. trachomatis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/095646249500600106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,16]],"date-time":"2017-01-16T03:05:02Z","timestamp":1484535902000},"page":"27-30","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Chlamydial Urethritis in Heterosexual Men Attending a Genitourinary Medicine Clinic: Prevalence, Symptoms, Condom Usage and Partner Change"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"J M","family":"Zelin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A J","family":"Robinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G L","family":"Ridgway","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Genitourinary Medicine Microbiology, University College London Hospitals, London WC1E 6AU"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Allason-Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematical and Computing Sciences, University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey GU2 5XH, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1995,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-095646249500600106","unstructured":"Department of Health.
