Diagnostic Testing of STDs; Help Get the Treatment People Need and Prevent the Spread of Disease
Diagnostic
testing of STDs are used to identify and diagnose sexually transmitted diseases
(STIs). STDs, also known as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), are very
common. STDs are infections that are transmitted during vaginal, anal, and oral
sex. They are very common and several people who have them don't show any
symptoms. STDs pass from one person to another through vaginal,
oral, and anal sex. Testing for a STD in people who doesn't have symptoms is
called screening. Most of the time, the screening is not a routine part of
health care.
The
Global
Diagnostic Testing of STDs Market is estimated to account for US$
290,128.2 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2027.
Screening
is recommended for everyone aged 13 years to 64 years, people born between 1945
and 1965, pregnant women, women age 21 years and older, women
who are sexually active, men who have sex with men, people
with HIV, and people who have a new partner. If diagnostic
testing for an STD shows that people have an STI, their sexual
partners, including current partners and any other partners during the past
three months to one year, need to be informed so that they can get tested. If
they're infected, they can then be treated.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more
than one million sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired every day
worldwide. STDs/STIs that cannot be cured. People with an STI caused by a virus
will be infected for life and will always be at risk of infecting their sexual
partners. Antibiotics, a single dose, can cure sexually transmitted bacterial
and parasitic infections. STDs cannot be cured, but symptoms can be managed
with medications. Trichomoniasis (or Trich) is the most common curable sexually
transmitted disease.
In May 2022, Abbott announced received the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its Alinity m STI Assay. The test
simultaneously detects and differentiates 4 common sexually transmitted
infections (STIs). STIs, when left untreated, can lead to severe health
complications, including increased risk of getting certain cancers and
infertility.
