A 23-year old student was seen at the termination of pregnancy clinic and recruited to take part in a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) prevalence study. She was asymptomatic and on examination had a moderate vaginal discharge. Recruitment is anonymous; therefore the results were not reported to her. She did however, receive syndromic treatment for vaginal discharge. A nucleic acid amplification test was positive for Mycoplasma genitalium.
