New rapid test could detect three infections at once

NCT ID NCT07563309

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a new rapid diagnostic device called TruPlex that can detect HIV, Hepatitis B, and Syphilis from a small blood sample. Researchers will enroll 1000 adults at risk for these infections to see how accurate and easy the test is to use in clinics and point-of-care settings. The goal is to provide a fast, reliable way to diagnose these diseases and help start treatment sooner.
