Aetna considers home testing for C. trachomatis experimental and investigational because of insufficient evidence in the peer-reviewed literature.
Rotblatt et al (2013) noted that in response to high chlamydia and gonorrhea morbidity, particularly among young African American and Latina women, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health launched a free home testing program for chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG). The primary objectives were to increase chlamydia and gonorrhea testing by removing key barriers and to motivate young women to screen routinely for these STDs. The program was promoted with a social marketing campaign urging women to order home collection kits online or by telephone. In the program's first year, 2,927 kits were ordered and 1,543 testable specimens returned; 131 women (8.5 %) had a positive test result. The authors concluded that the strong response, high morbidity, and program scalability indicated strong potential as a new tool for STD control.
Most C. trachomatis infections cause no symptoms. Left untreated, C. trachomatis infection can lead to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease in the female, which has emerged as a major cause of tubal factor infertility and ectopic pregnancy in women of childbearing age. Chlamydia infection can be passed to the newborn during delivery through the birth canal with a manifestation of neonatal eye infection or pneumonia. These sequelae are unfortunate because C. trachomatis infection is effectively treated with antibiotics.
The USPSTF made no recommendation for or against routine screening of asymptomatic, low-risk pregnant women aged 25 years and older for chlamydial infection. The USPSTF found fair evidence that the benefits of screening low-risk pregnant women are small and may not justify the possible harms.
Aetna considers Chlamydia trachomatis ( C. trachomatis) screening a medically necessary preventive service according to the recommendations of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
