Laboratory testing of IBBS specimens. In FY 09-10, the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and

STDs (NCHADS) Surveillance Unit, with USG support, will conduct an integrated biological-behavioral

sentinel survey (IBBS) in 5 priority provinces (Phnom Penh, Kampong Cham, Battambang, Sihanoukville,

and Banteay Meanchey) among three target populations: female sex workers, police (a sentinel group

which has served as a proxy for clients of female sex workers in several previous Cambodian surveys), and

men who have sex with men (MSM). To determine the prevalence of three bacterial sexually transmitted

infections (STIs), biological specimens (blood, swabs, and urine) will be tested for Treponema pallidum,

Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Chlamydia trachomatis. Although NCHADS-US CDC cooperative agreement

funds will be used to purchase test reagents, additional funds ($7000) will be required to pay for laboratory

testing.
