One advantage of the SimplyTest STI test is that it can identify the specific types of STIs that may be causing the infection. This is important because the CDC treatment recommendations for each STI are different – each type of STI in the SimplyTest panel has a different CDC recommended course of treatment.
Another advantage of the SimplyTest STI is a broad panel test that can detect most co-infections. This is important because patients that have an STI infection often have a co-infecting STI. In a study Alimetrix conducted with a local hospital ER, over 50% of patients that tested positive for Chlamydia or Neisseria gonorrhea, also had an additional co-infection on our test panel.
