Popis: The STI diagnostic landscape of FDA cleared tests for use at point-of-care (POC), as well as those emergency use authorized for COVID-19 are reviewed; some of these COVID-19 diagnostics may have platform potential as STI diagnostics. Finally, process innovation is described with self-collection and hub-and-spoke mail-in to reference lab models. Movement of Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-waived POC tests to over-the-counter formats will make tests more accessible to consumers. Together with public health messaging, these measures could accelerate STI and COVID-19 syndemic diagnostic solutions.
