Syphilis cases are spiking in the US
The Food and Drug Administration granted approval Friday for a 15-minute test from NOWDiagnostics to be marketed in the US.
“Access to home tests may help increase initial screening for syphilis, including in individuals who may be reluctant to see their health care provider about possible sexually transmitted infection exposure,” said Dr. Michelle Tarver, acting director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
The at-home test is part of the department’s strategic plan, which aims to reverse the “dramatic rise” of STIs in the US.
