asymptomatic women. Our positivity rate is similar to the NAAT-detected TV prevalence reported previously at another sexual health clinic in Sydney,5 but substantially lower than the 4.8% prevalence found in another Sydney-based study.6 This may reflect the use of a different in-house NAAT in that study, and their inclusion criterion of clinical cervicitis. In the two Australian studies of TV using NAAT that included men,7,9 the positivity rate of TV was lower in men than women. TV infection in men is not commonly associated with adverse clinical outcomes;1 therefore, men were not included in this study.
