An Australian trial has found that a seven-day course of the antibiotic doxycycline was more effective than single-dose of the antibiotic azithromycin for the treatment of rectal chlamydia. Although most cases are asymptomatic, around 1 in 10 men who have sex with men attending STI clinics are diagnosed with rectal chlamydia, and there is also increasing concern about this form of the STI in women. The trial of around 600 men found that the STI cleared up in 96 per cent of men who received doxycycline but only 76 per cent of men who received azithromycin.
