Julius Schachter, PhD, from the Department of Laboratory Medicine at UCSF, and Jeffrey Klausner, MD, from the Department of Public Health, are conducting a study to evaluate a type of test (nucleic acid amplification test) for the detection of two sexually transmitted diseases, Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, in men who have sex with men (MSM), using urine samples and swabs taken from the throat (pharynx), tip of penis (glans), and rectum. The use of nucleic acid amplification tests on these swabs is experimental, which means that the use of the tests for this purpose have not been approved by the Food \& Drug Administration.
