ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: We compared detection of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC), and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) using dry and wet self-collected samples using brushes among females who engage in sex work in Mombasa, Kenya. Detection of TV and GC in dry and wet samples was similar, but CT detection in dry samples appeared lower.
