OHSU Clinical Laboratory Recommendations Regarding Self-collected GU Specimens for CT/NG and Bacterial vaginosis:

1. Cases are not involved in legal investigations.

2. Patients age: 15 to 65 years.

3. Patients who have been assessed for both physical and cognitive abilities, as well as language accessibility to written instructions.

4. Anatomic sites: 1) vaginal swabs, 2) first void or “dirty” urine, and 3) penile meatus (Warning: self-collection does not include throat and rectal swabs).
