| The main endpoint of this study is assessment of the viable CT concentration (viable load) at any of the anatomical sample locations. Other parameters used in this study as determinants to understand the endpoint are: -CT detection by commercial NAAT (standard routine care; CT positive Yes/No) -CT DNA concentration (total CT load) -CT detection by culture (reference method for viable CT detection; Viable CT Yes/No) For exploratory descriptive analysis we will investigate associated factors from self-reported questionnaire data (e.g. demographics, sexual behaviour, symptoms, etc.). These questionnaires are completed by patients as part of the standard routine care. | — |
