‘Bish bash bosh’: the experiences of men who have sex with men providing self-taken oropharyngeal, rectal, meatal and first-catch urine specimens, and pooling genital and extragenital specimens for <i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> and <i>Chlamydia tracho

These data provide insight into the experiences of MSM providing self-taken samples and pooling them for gonorrhoea and chlamydia testing. Interestingly, MSM preferred self-taken meatal swabs to urine and would accept a slight reduction in diagnostic sensitivity with this specimen.

Abstract

These data provide insight into the experiences of MSM providing self-taken samples and pooling them for gonorrhoea and chlamydia testing. Interestingly, MSM preferred self-taken meatal swabs to urine and would accept a slight reduction in diagnostic sensitivity with this specimen.
