Currently, the CDC does not recommend “routine screening” for extragenital gonorrhea or chlamydia in women, although it does make that recommendation for MSM or bisexual males. However, as most extragenital infections are asymptomatic, this is potentially missing a large reservoir of infection. In this episode, we will review the USPSTF and CDC screening guidelines and compared that to evolving prevalence data of extragenital STIs.
