Relevance of sexually transmitted infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have a profound impact on sexual health as well as on economic and social issues worldwide. Approximately 30 different pathogens can be transmitted sexually, ranging from different bacterial species, viruses, fungi, and parasites. WHO estimates 374 million new infections in people 15–49 years old with 1 of 4 curable STIs: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and trichomoniasis, that is more than 1 million curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) every day.

Importance of an appropriate diagnosis

The majority of STIs are asymptomatic and represent a considerable burden for public health. Undetected infections and an inappropriate diagnosis could have serious complications. The accurate identification of asymptomatic and symptomatic STIs depends on the availability of quality diagnostic tests. Syndromic testing enables specific detection of multiple pathogens simultaneously, all related to an infectious disease, making possible a differential diagnosis. This approach helps overcome unclear symptoms, prevent transmission, reduce STI-related deaths, and improve both individual and public sexual health.
