The Need

Trichomoniasis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea are the three most prevalent, treatable STDs in the U.S. If left untreated, complications can include infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, pregnancy complications, and increased risk of HIV acquisition.1

CDC recommends:1

  • Annual CT/NG screening of all sexually active women under 25
  • Screening of other at-risk individuals including MSM*
  • Testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, & trichomoniasis using NAATs^ (PCR)
  • Same-day testing and treatment

The Solution

Accurate on-demand PCR results are ready when you need them

  • On-demand and in-visit results reduce patient call-backs, overtreatment, undertreatment and patients lost to follow-up
  • Patient collected specimens can create operational efficiencies
  • Same patient sample can be utilized for all tests

The Impact

Provide fast patient results to:

  • Lessen patient anxiety with immediate results
  • Improve patient satisfaction
  • Prevent disease spread in the community
  • Reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics
