|---|---|---|---|
| Anal swab | Urine | Throat swab | |
| B | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| D | 16 | 2 | 3 |
| E | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| F | 1 | 0 | 0 |

a
Repeat samples from the same individual were excluded. These include five anal swab specimens (genotypes D [n = 2], F [n = 1], G [n = 1], and J [n = 1]) and two urine samples (genotypes D [n = 1] and G [n = 1]). The genotypes from the repeat samples were identical to those from the samples collected initially.
b
One man was positive for C. trachomatis at two anatomical sites. The same genotype (genotype G) was detected in anal swab and urine samples.
