Non-Invasive Sexually Transmitted Disease Testing in Women Seeking Emergency Contraception or Urine Pregnancy Testing

Non-Invasive Sexually Transmitted Disease Testing in Women Seeking Emergency Contraception or Urine Pregnancy Testing: Meeting the Needs of an At-Risk Population

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence and treatment rates of T. vaginalis, C. trachomatis, and N. gonorrhoeae in women seeking emergency contraception or urine pregnancy testing in the Magee-Womens Hospital outpatient clinic using a non-invasive urine STD test.

This study has three primary objectives: 1) to determine the prevalence of T. vaginalis, C. trachomatis, and N. gonorrhoeae in women seeking emergency contraception or urine pregnancy testing - a population likely at increased risk of acquiring STDs; 2) to determine the rate of successful treatment in women diagnosed with STDs in this venue.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Females at least age 15 at time of enrollment who are presenting at Magee-Womens Hospital for emergency contraception or urine pregnancy testing.
• Ability to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis and/or treatment for an STD within 4 weeks of enrollment in the study.
