The Need

an ill woman listens to a physician
Trichomoniasis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea are the three most prevalent, treatable STDs in the U.S. If left untreated, complications can include infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy complications, and increased risk of HIV acquisition.1

CDC recommends:1
  • Annual CT/NG screening of all sexually active women under 25
  • Screening of other at-risk individuals including MSM*
  • Testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, & trichomoniasis using NAATs^ (PCR)
  • Timely testing and treatment

*MSM — men who have sex with men
^NAAT — nucleic acid amplification test
