    This clinical study will test for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and/or Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) infections and it will include fresh first-catch voided urine collected from CT/NG symptomatic and asymptomatic male patients, age 18 years or older and fresh first-catch voided urine, patient-collected vaginal swab (collected in a clinical setting), clinician-collected vaginal swab, and endocervical swab specimens collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic female patients, age 18 years and older. This study will include at least one (1) near-patient testing site outside the United States.

    and BD.
