Incident urogenital and anorectal Chlamydia trachomatis in women: the role of sexual exposure and autoinoculation: a multicentre observational study (FemCure)

Conclusions
After initial treatment, an alternate anatomical site CT infection increased the risk for an incident CT in women, especially when also sex was reported. This may suggest a key role for autoinoculation in the re-establishment or persistence of urogenital and anorectal chlamydia infections.
