Terry's case: A Youth at Risk

Question 7

When you tell Terry that he needs a gonorrhea screening test from the urethra, he refuses: "To be poked in the penis by that thing? No way. If you think I have it, just give me the antibiotics."

What would you do? Choose one of the following options:

1. Do it anyway.
2. Don't do it since he has no symptoms.
3. Treat him with the appropriate antibiotic regimen for gonorrhea.
4. Do a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) for gonorrhea on a first void urine.
