Clinical Utility of Rapid CT/NG Testing in the ED

The purpose of this study is to:

1. determine the clinical impact of rapid Chlamydia Trachomatis (CT), Neisseria Gonorrhoeae (NG) testing on antibiotic over and under treatment for CT/NG in women evaluated in the Emergency Department (ED) for a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI). 2. determine the clinical impact of rapid Trichomonas Vaginalis (TV) testing on antibiotic under and over treatment for TV in women evaluated in the ED for an STI 3. evaluate the feasibility of integrating rapid Chlamydia Trachomatis (CT), Neisseria Gonorrhoeae (NG) and TV testing in the Emergency Department setting.
