  • Title: Infections missed by urethral-only screening for chlamydia or gonorrhea detection among men who have sex with men.
    Author: Marcus JL, Bernstein KT, Kohn RP, Liska S, Philip SS.
    Journal: Sex Transm Dis; 2011 Oct; 38(10):922-4. PubMed ID: 21934565.
    Abstract:
    In a retrospective analysis of asymptomatic men who have sex with men visiting an urban municipal sexually transmitted disease clinic, 83.8% of chlamydial and gonococcal infections would have been missed by urethral screening, compared with 9.8% by screening the rectum and pharynx. Extragenital screening is critical to the provision of comprehensive sexual health services for men who have sex with men.
