Laboratory testing is a vital chain in the prevention and control of genital chlamydia trachomatis infection. The prevalence of genital chlamydia trachomatis infection is high, but the detection rate of the infection is low in men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. Self-sampling for genital chlamydia trachomatis detection by MSM is a new option to address this problem, which would play a significant role in expanding genital chlamydia trachomatis infection screening in this population. This paper summarizes the progress in research of self-sampling for the detection of genital chlamydia trachomatis and the related factors in MSM both at home and abroad to provide reference for the promotion of self-sampling for the detection of genital chlamydia trachomatis in this population.
检测是生殖道沙眼衣原体（CT）感染综合防控工作中至关重要的环节，我国MSM的生殖道CT感染率高，检测率低。生殖道CT自我采样检测为MSM提供了一个新的选择，对扩大CT检测在该人群中的覆盖面具有重要作用。本文综述了国内外MSM的CT自我采样检测及相关因素，为CT自我采样检测在该人群中的推广提供依据。.
