| Specimen and assay | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Female endocervical swab | ||
| Combo2 | 86.9 | 97.8 |
| Amplicor | 82.2 | 99.2 |
| Female urine | ||
| Combo2 | 87.3 | 98.7 |
| Amplicor | 79.8 | 99.2 |
| Male urine | ||
| Combo2 | 94.8 | 98.2 |
| Amplicor | 87.6 | 99.5 |

Sensitivity and specificity were calculated with LCx endocervical swab and urine results. The infected-patient standard was defined as at least one of these two tests positive.
