Abstract
Our findings provide valuable insights for sexual health interventions to prevent chlamydia transmission and recurrence. Prioritizing resources for prevention interventions and tailored sexual health promotion among non-Hispanic Black individuals is crucial. Additionally, targeted STI prevention efforts are needed for males who have sex with men and those initially diagnosed with extragenital infection. Research is warranted on STI prevention among people living with HIV or at high risk of HIV infection. Strengthening prevention strategies through Expedited Partner Therapy and sexual health education for individuals at risk of repeat positivity could enhance prevention efforts.
