Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review: noninvasive testing for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
TL;DR: Nucleic acid amplification tests are easily obtainable non-invasive tests on urine samples that detect chlamydial infection and gonorrhea reasonably well, but negative results on PCR assays on pee samples are not useful to rule out gonococcal infections in women.
