Hello! what is the most informative method to detect sti? my doctor in russia use gas chromatographymass spectrometry.what do you think about that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Which One?: There are twelve different common Sexually transmitted infections. Gas Chromatography would not in any way be a diagnostic tool for any of them. Some are viral. Some are bacterial. Some or other infectious bugs. Some are only tested at the specific site of infection. Some circulate in the blood stream. I am sorry, but your doctor in Russia pulled a fast one on you.
