First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether point-of-care STI tests, which give results in about 10 minutes, can speed up treatment for pregnant women compared to standard lab tests. About 756 pregnant women at Grady Memorial Hospital will either get the rapid tests or standard testing. The goal is to see if faster diagnosis leads to quicker treatment and better health for mothers and babies.
