Summary
This study is testing a new rapid blood test for syphilis that gives results from a fingerstick sample during a single clinic visit. About 600 adults attending a community health centre in Winnipeg will take part. Researchers want to see if this quick test is as accurate as standard lab tests and whether it can help diagnose and treat syphilis faster.
