Anatomic Site-Specific Gonorrhea and Chlamydia Testing and Incidence Among People With HIV Engaged in Care at 4 US Clinical Centers, 2014-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is increasing in the United States; however, there are limited data on anatomic site-specific GC/CT among people with HIV (PWH).

Methods

We reviewed records of all PWH in care between January 1, 2014, and November 16, 2018, at 4 sites in the CFAR Network of Integrated Clinical Systems Cohort (CNICS; n = 8455). We calculated anatomic site-specific GC/CT testing and incidence rates and used Cox proportional hazards models modified for recurrent events to examine sociodemographic and clinical predictors of GC/CT testing and incidence at urogenital, rectal, and pharyngeal sites. We also calculated site-specific number needed to test (NNT) to detect a positive GC/CT test.
