Lots to review, recall that these two infections are reportable conditions in every state.  Also, USPSTF guidelines include annual screening for this in all sexually active young women under age 25, and for others at increased risk. Also, screening at anatomical sites of exposure is recommended at least annually for sexually active men who have sex with men.  Asymptomatic infections are common.
