  • Title: Techniques of testing for sexually transmitted diseases.
    Author: Rager KM, Biro FM.
    Journal: Curr Womens Health Rep; 2001 Oct; 1(2):111-5. PubMed ID: 12112957.
    Abstract:
    Adolescent and young adult women are the highest-risk group for nearly all sexually transmitted infections. This article reviews diagnostic methods for the most common bacterial and viral sexually transmitted infections, with special attention to the use of nucleic acid amplification methods, as well as the utilization of nontraditional clinical specimens. These new modalities should help the care provider identify and manage the large asymptomatic pool of infected patients, and further lower the prevalence and burden of infection.
