#Fisher’s exact test.
∧Heterosexual men (males) are only tested for gonorrhoea when they have symptoms because gonorrhoea is rare in heterosexual men. Only 936 heterosexual men were tested for gonorrhoea in the monthly and 875 tested in the quarterly period.
&There was large number of repeated swab tests performed (i.e. chlamydia, gonorrhoea, M genitalium and trichomonas) in FSW due to the sex work regulation. The prevalence of FSW was adjusted to number of infected FSW individuals divided by the number of FSW individuals tested at least once in the period. The adjusted prevalence of chlamydia in FSW was: 81 (5.1%)/59 (4.0%) [p = 0.16]; gonorrhoea: 22 (1.4%)/8 (0.6%) [p = 0.020]; M genitalium: 5 (4.5%)/9 (8.0%) [p = 0.28]; and trichomonas: 7 (0.4%)/5 (0.6%) [p = 0.61].
