Gonorrhea testing algorithms

Here we summarize the gonorrhea testing for different common situations:

  • Screening for females
  • Screening for males
  • Testing after potential exposure with no symptoms
  • Testing after potential exposure with symptoms

Screening is when testing is done with no particular exposure in mind and with no symptoms—just as a routine test.


Let’s go over those algorithms and see which one is best for your particular situation.
