Chlamydia/Gonococcus, Pharyngeal Swab, NAA

This test detects the genetic material of the bacteria that cause chlamydia and gonorrhea in the back of the throat. It helps determine if you have an infection in this area, which is often symptom-free but can still be spread to others through oral sex. This screening helps rule out these specific sexually transmitted infections (STIs) after potential exposure. However, this test only evaluates the throat and does not detect infections in the genitals or other diseases like syphilis.
