Summary

This study is testing a new rapid test for gonorrhea called the iStatis Gonorrhea Antigen Test. The test uses a vaginal swab and gives results quickly at the clinic. Researchers want to see how accurate and easy it is to use when performed by trained staff. About 650 women will take part, and their test results will be compared to a standard lab test.
