We sought to determine the prevalence of and risk factors associated with Mycoplasma genitalium infection in a nationally representative sample of young adults in the United States. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. Urine specimens from 1714 women and 1218 men who participated in Wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (N=14322) were tested for M genitalium. Poststratification sampling weights were used to generate nationally representative estimates. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. The prevalence of M genitalium was 1.0% compared with 0.4%, 4.2%, and 2.3% for gonococcal, chlamydial, and trichomonal infections, respectively. No M genitalium\u2013positive individuals reported symptoms of discharge. M genitalium prevalence among those who reported vaginal intercourse was 1.1% compared with 0.05% among those who did not. In multivariate analyses, M genitalium prevalence was 11 times higher among respondents who reported living with a sexual partner, 7 times higher among Blacks, and 4 times higher among those who used condoms during their last vaginal intercourse. Prevalence of M genitalium increased by 10% for each additional sexual partner. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. M genitalium was more prevalent than Neisseria gonorrhoeae but less prevalent than Chlamydia trachomatis, and it was strongly associated with sexual activity. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2005.074062","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,27]],"date-time":"2007-04-27T01:10:49Z","timestamp":1177636249000},"page":"1118-1125","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":165,"title":["<i>Mycoplasma genitalium<\/i> Among Young Adults in the United States: An Emerging Sexually Transmitted Infection"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"Lisa E.","family":"Manhart","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lisa E.
