Research using nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) have repeatedly found rectal and oropharyngeal infections withChlamydia trachomatis andNeisseria gonorrhoeae to be common and potentially more difficult to treat than genital infections. Unfortunately, public health and patient care efforts have been hampered by the lack of FDA-cleared NAATs with claims for anorectal or oropharyngeal samples.
