SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS (STIs)

According to the CDC, 1 in 5 people in the US have an STI. ¹ New infections, both diagnosed and undiagnosed, are estimated at 13M for human papillomavirus (HPV), 6.9M for Trichomoniasis, 4M for Chlamydia, 1.6M for Gonorrhea, and 572K for herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).¹ Chlamydia, trichomoniasis, genital herpes, and HPV accounted for 98% of all prevalent STIs and 93% of all new STIs in 2018.¹ For guidance, the CDC’s updated 2021 STI screening recommendations may be found on their website. QDx Pathology uses nucleic acid amplification (NAA)-based assays to detect and differentiate pathogen RNA, allowing for rapid and reliable test results.
