Rectal chlamydia is very common in gay men; it can exist for long periods without symptoms leading to ongoing transmission. There are two choices for antibiotic treatment: azithromycin and doxycycline, but there is uncertainty about which is more effective. This research will determine which treatment is best and what the economic implications are. The findings will update treatment guidelines and ensure that the most effective treatment is used to prevent ongoing transmission.

直肠衣原体在男同性恋者中非常常见；它可以长期存在，没有导致持续传播的症状。抗生素治疗有两种选择：阿奇霉素和多西环素，但哪种更有效还不确定。这项研究将确定哪种治疗方法最好，以及其经济影响是什么。这些发现将更新治疗指南，并确保使用最有效的治疗来防止持续传播。
