Screening for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis in Men Who Have Sex With Men at Male-Only Saunas

Abstract

The high prevalence rate of gonorrhea and chlamydia supports the concept of a screening program in Melbourne male-only saunas. The low participation rate has highlighted the need to consider alternative methods for making contact with men in the saunas or offering incentives to participate in future screening programs. Although anonymous participation encouraged participation for some men, future programs should attempt to obtain contact details for follow up of positive test results.
