Abstract

The potential inhibitory effects of tenofovir and a placebo were examined using the Becton Dickinson ProbeTec, Gen-Probe Aptima Combo 2, and Roche Amplicor tests to detect Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Concentrations of 5% to 0% of tenofovir and the placebo were added to dilutions of C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae. No appreciable inhibition was observed.
