Vaginal swab specimen processing methods influence performance of rapid semen detection tests: a cautionary tale

Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: Detection of semen biomarkers in vaginal fluid can be used to assess women’s recent exposure to semen. Quantitative tests for detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) perform well, but are expensive and require specialized equipment. We assessed two rapid immunochromatographic strip tests for identification of semen in vaginal swabs.
