What percentage of 16-24 year olds have chlamydia?

Answer 1

Probably 1 in 10 (10%) of 16 - 24 year old have chlamydia. In 2011, 70% of the reported cases of chlamydia in the US were in males and females age 15 to 24. The CDC estimates that 6.8% of sexually active females age 14 to 19 have chlamydia (see related link).

Answer 2

Since chlamydia is treatable and curable data would only be averages at a given time or group. However chlamydia is very very common. In 2011, the CDC reports that reported chlamydia cases in females were 648.9 per 100,000 population, and in men were 256.9 cases per 100,000. The CDC believes that this 2.5x difference reflects not so much fewer men infected, but fewer men tested and diagnosed. (see related link).
