Chlamydia Positivity in Women Screened in Family Planning Clinics: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) globally, with significant implications for women's reproductive health. Screening for Chlamydia in family planning clinics is critical for early detection and prevention of adverse outcomes such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy. This review explores the prevalence of Chlamydia positivity among women screened in family planning clinics, the associated risk factors, and the role of targeted screening interventions. Current challenges in screening implementation and strategies to improve detection and treatment outcomes are also discussed.
