About 3% to 6% in the US have chlamydia at any given time. Rates of infection in the general population appear to be the same among males and females, although female reported cases are higher (likely due to programs encouraging screening in young women). In females, 50% will have chlamydia by the age of 30. The rates are probably similar for males. See related link for references.
