Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are the most common causes of sexually transmitted disease in Senegal and worldwide. Molecular techniques have become the standard for their detection, and due to the frequency of co-infections, these tests can detect both agents and can be used on urine samples, vaginal swabs, or endocervical samples. In developing countries, the use of these molecular techniques is very limited and there is a need for evaluations of these techniques to be done.
