Study Summary

This trial tests a new rapid syphilis test for accuracy in STI clinics in Vancouver, compared to the standard test.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 19 attending the BCCDC STI Clinic in Vancouver for sexual health care and syphilis testing can join. It's open to those without a history of syphilis, named contacts of confirmed cases, or with other STIs. Excluded are minors, anyone unable to consent due to intoxication/distress/confusion, and individuals showing early syphilis symptoms.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is evaluating the Reveal® TP (Syphilis) antibody POCT against standard testing methods for detecting syphilis at an urban STI clinic. The goal is to assess how well this rapid test identifies the presence of syphilis antibodies compared to conventional tests.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves diagnostic testing rather than medication or treatment intervention, there are no direct side effects from the test itself. However, typical discomforts associated with blood draws may occur.
