Questioning the value of screening for gonorrhoea in symptomless heterosexual men
International Journal of STD & AIDS, 11/10/09
Pittrof R et al. – The benefits to these patients are uncertain but the costs are huge and could fund currently unprovided services such as oral contraceptive provision or HIV testing before terminations of pregnancy. However stopping testing would deny individuals the reassurance they seek, prevent early detection of outbreaks and fail to detect carriers who go on to cause morbidity in their partners. On this view, the availability of non–invasive tests should be used to widen screening.
