Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Resistance guided treatment for gonorrhoea infection

No intervention: Standard care - When clinical services are in the standard case phase of the study, all cases of gonorrhoea infection diagnosed at those services will be managed according to current standard of care management guidelines i.e. all cases of gonorrhoea infection will be treated with ceftriaxone by injection plus oral azithromycin tablets as first line therapy, regardless of whether the treatment is given at the initial clinic or the return clinic visit.

Active comparator: Implementation - When clinical services are assigned to the implementation phase, first line treatment for gonorrhoea infection for patients treated at their first clinic visit will remain the same as it is currently: ceftriaxone by injection plus oral azithromycin tablets. However, patients who are not treated presumptively will be treated at their return visit on the basis of the drug resistance test results. Patients with gonorrhoea infection that is shown to be susceptible to ciprofloxacin will be treated with oral ciprofloxacin therapy when they return for review at clinical services in the implementation phase. Patients with gonorrhoea infection that is not susceptible to ciprofloxacin or with an indeterminate ciprofloxacin result will be treated with ceftriaxone by injection.


Other interventions: Resistance guided treatment for gonorrhoea infection
For cases of gonorrhoea infection treated at the return visit, a nucleic acid assay will be used to determine individual eligibility for ciprofloxacin treatment
