ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescent and young adult chlamydial infection is unknown. Patient testing data were extracted from the electronic health records of 10 family planning clinics. Prepandemic and pandemic comparisons revealed an increase in observed chlamydial infection, with greater positivity among Black/African American female adolescent patients.
