Results of Test of Cure by Patient-reported Reinfection Risk After Commencing Treatment
| Data on Reinfection Risk (N = 240a) | No. (% [95% CI]) | Positive Test of Cure, No. (%) | Odds Ratio (95% CI) |
P Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No sex | 125 (52.1 [45.6–58.6]) | 8 (6.4) | reference | |
| Condom use 100% with all partners | 60 (25.0 [19.7–31.0]) | 7 (11.7) | 1.93 (.67–5.60) | .226 |
| Any condomless sex with a fully treated partner | 14 (5.8 [3.2–9.6]) | 1 (7.2) | 1.13 (.13–9.72) | .915 |
| Any condomless sex with a new partner | 25 (10.4 [6.9–15.0]) | 1 (4.0) | 0.61 (.07–5.10) | .648 |
| Any condomless sex with an incompletely treated partnerb | 16 (6.7 [3.9–10.6]) | 5 (31.3) | 6.65 (1.85–23.84) | .004 |
Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval.
aTwenty patients (7.7%) with no reinfection risk data were excluded from this analysis but were retained in the analysis of treatment outcomes.
bThese 16 patients were excluded from the analysis of treatment outcomes but shown here to highlight the high odds of failure in individuals reporting condomless sex with an untreated partner, compared with the other categories. Men who have sex with men status was not associated with positive test of cure (P = .903).
