Dr Cohen: 'without quarterly screening, 34% of gonorrhea, 40% of chlamydia, & 20% of syphilis would have gone undetected. 89% had condomless anal sex with an average of 3 sex partners of those individuals who had undetected symptomless STIs, highlighting the potential risk for transmitting STIs' - see Table 1..
