Self-sampling with oral rinse to detect oropharyngeal Neisseria gonorrhoeae among men who have sex with men: results from an exploratory study in Belgium (the SSONG Study)

Objectives We aimed to assess whether a self-collected oral rinse was non-inferior to clinician-collected oropharyngeal swabs to detect Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) using culture and nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) among men who have sex with men (MSM), and whether Ng may still be detected in oral rinses for a minimum of 5 days after collection. Methods MSM with a positive Ng result in an oropharyngeal or pooled sample (oropharynx, urethra and anorectum) were approached.
