New rapid tests aim to catch hidden STIs in pregnant women

NCT ID NCT05541081

Summary

This study tested a new strategy using rapid, on-site tests for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in pregnant women in Zimbabwe. The goal was to see if these tests are practical, acceptable, and better at finding infections than the standard method of treating based on symptoms alone. Researchers also looked at the cost, how well partner notification worked, and tracked antibiotic resistance in gonorrhea.
