Summary

Julius Schachter, PhD, (Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of California, San Francisco) and Susan S. Philip, MD MPH (Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco) are conducting a study to evaluate the Abbott RealTime CT/NG polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\] assay (which is a nucleic acid amplification test \[NAAT\]) for detecting two sexually transmitted bacteria, Chlamydia trachomatis \[CT\] and Neisseria gonorrhoeae \[NG\], using urine samples and swabs from the throat and rectum of men who have sex with men \[MSM\]. Using this test on these swabs is experimental because it has not been approved by the Food \& Drug Administration.
