| Abstract | 3. Background: The reviewer comments that “The rate of one in six Norwegian women being positive for CT by the age of 25 is important data”, and that it would be equally important to further breakdown these data. Our statement however refers to our paper on testing patterns and prevalence of CT that was published in Sexually Transmitted Diseases in 2006. In the results section, we have written a paragraph on the number of positive tests in our study cohort that consists of women born 1970-84 (see below). Also, the reviewer asks how our data (on cumulative incidence rates of CT) compare with data from other countries. Our laboratory database covers an entire population in an area with high testing rates. To the best of our knowledge, such data have not been described elsewhere. We have included a new sentence in the Introduction to point to this particular characteristic of our previous research, which also relates to the present study (Page 3, second paragraph). |
