  • Title: Extragenital Screening in Men Who Have Sex With Men Diagnoses More Chlamydia and Gonorrhea Cases Than Urine Testing Alone.
    Author: Anschuetz GL, Paulukonis E, Powers R, Asbel LE.
    Journal: Sex Transm Dis; 2016 May; 43(5):299-301. PubMed ID: 27100766.
    Abstract:
    Data were evaluated to determine the benefit of extragenital screening among men who have sex with men in detecting chlamydia/gonorrhea infections. More than seventy percent of chlamydia infections and >80% of gonorrhea infections would have been missed with urine testing alone in the course of a year. Extragenital testing is critical for identifying sexually transmitted diseases among men who have sex with men.
