CONCLUSION:: Sexually transmitted disease clinics might improve chlamydia and
gonorrhea case-finding through rectal testing of women, but more study is needed
to determine the effects of finding and treating such infections. Reporting anal
intercourse did not predict rectal chlamydial infection among women tested at
both the rectum and the vagina. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:: II.     PMID: 20308835
