M. genitalium: Testing for M. genitalium should be done only if you have otherwise unexplained symptoms like vaginal discharge (or cervicitis diagnosed by a health professional) AND if standard antibiotic treatment hasn't helped (e.g. doxycycline and/or azithromycin). Testing is not recommended in people without genital symptoms.
