title: [Non symptomatic sexually transmitted infections: urine sample allows an adequate detection].
abstract: Detection of non-symptomatic sexually transmitted infections (NSSTD) has taken great relevance, primarily due to global increase. This has led to implement various laboratory techniques with the aim of early detection of these silent infections to decrease the incidence. Techniques usually used for the detection and identification of NSSTD require invasive samples (blood, citobrush, etc.), so the urine could be a simpler option and noninvasive sample when the patient be subjected to test for some of these infections.
