Résumé

Point-of-care testing for sexually transmitted infections is essential for controlling transmission and preventing sequelae in high-risk populations. Since the World Health Organization published the ASSURED criteria, point-of-care testing has improved for use in large population screening and rapid testing that prevents loss of clinical follow-up. Recent advancements have been advantageous for low-resource areas allowing testing at a minimal cost without reliable electricity or refrigeration. Point-of-care nucleic acid detection and amplification techniques are recommended, but are often inaccessible in low-resource areas. Future advancements in point-of-care diagnostic testing should focus on improving antibody-based assays, monitoring viral loads, and detecting antimicrobial resistance.
