National scale-up of etiological testing for <i>N. gonorrhoeae</i> and <i>C. trachomatis</i> in South Africa: a health economic modelling analysis

2025-10-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) remain highly prevalent in South Africa, where syndromic management is the standard-of-care (SOC) for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). However, syndromic management lacks diagnostic precision leading to both under-treatment and excess antibiotic use, which contributes to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). With a novel lateral flow a...
