Substantial increase in yield of Neisseria gonorrhoeae testing 2008–2013 at a Sydney metropolitan sexual health clinic: an observational study

Abstract

From 2008 to 2013, we observed a greater than threefold increase in yield of gonorrhoea testing disproportionately affecting GBM, although the increase also occurred in other subpopulations and at all anatomic sites. More frequent and comprehensive testing could potentially reduce the high and increasing community prevalence of gonorrhoea.
