From them, 121 participants (9.93%) had positive URINE OPIOID test. They were retested at least few days later by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The results showed that 22 (1.80%) had positive URINE OPIOID test (based on TLC), whose mean age was 25.7 years, ranging from 19 to 32 years.Conclusion: It can be concluded that at least 1.80% of men referred for UOS as a mandatory test before marriage used opioids.
