We determined urine, rectal, and pharyngeal prevalence of chlamydia and gonorrhea infection using nucleic acid testing (NAAT) in this population.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n This is a single-center, cross-sectional study performed at Philippine General Hospital. Following ethical approval and informed consent, urine, rectal, and pharyngeal samples from treatment-na\u00efve adult PLHIV were tested using GeneXpert\u00ae for chlamydia and gonorrhoea. Participants with recent antibiotic use with activity against chlamydia or gonorrhoea were excluded. Demographic and clinical data were collected.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Results:<\/jats:bold>\n We enrolled 60 participants with median age of 30 years, 85% were male, 78% identified as men who have sex with men, and 95% were asymptomatic. The overall prevalence of chlamydia or gonorrhoea was 32%. Site-specific testing showed that rectal chlamydia or gonorrhoea infections were most common at 16.7%, followed by multisite infections at 10.0%.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n The prevalence of chlamydia and gonorrhoea among newly diagnosed Filipino PLHIV is 32% with 95% being asymptomatic.
