	Load	(95%CI)	Load	(95%CI)	Load	(95%CI)	Load	(95%CI)	Load	(95%CI)	Load	(95%CI)	Load	(95%CI)
Individual*	169	(100–286)	186	(103–333)	879	(371–2083)	620	(229–1681)	400	(92–1742)	72	(14–371)	17	(5–59)

*The individual infection load is the geometric mean and 95% CI of the C. trachomatis infection load expressed in copies of ompA/swab, for all infected individuals in the study population.

†: The community load of infection is the Williams Mean for the study population (including uninfected individuals), expressed in copies of the ompA/swab.
