Description
Ting-Ting Jiang and ten co-authors compare self taken swabs with staff taken swabs for two sex passed infections in men who have sex with men in China, in a 2024 journal article. Infections in the throat and rectum are common in this group. Self sampling could reach men who shun clinics or exams.
The trial ran in six clinics with 325 men. Each man gave throat and rectal swabs in a random order, self and staff, plus a first urine sample. Rectal rates for the two germs ran far higher than throat rates. Match rates between the two ways were high, and men rated self sampling as easy to accept. The authors say self swabs can widen testing in lands where proof was thin.
