Description
- Abstract
- The ongoing epidemic of sexually transmitted infections (stis), particularly in men who have SEX with men (MSM), is worsening as the fear of HIV and the acceptance/use of barrier methods (e.g condoms) decreases. STI diagnostics are the critical gateway to treatment, yet traditional test methods (i.e., mail-in kits and centralized labs) are decidedly ineffective for the individuals and groups most impacted by stis, such as MSM, economically disadvantaged communities/countries, and those without health insurance. As stated by the who, "a major barrier to STI control and prevention is the unavailability of reliable, low-cost, point-of-care (POC) tests which allow diagnosis and treatment in a single visit." indeed, technology for POC STI tests that can be accessed at local clinics and performed by "lay health workers" during the patient visit are needed to address ongoing STI socioeconomic health disparities. Salus has invented 3STEP, a POC nucleic acid test (NAT) platform that addresses this critical need by enabling laboratory performance at the POC in a format that is as easy to perform as a rapid antigen test in
