Filter by:Project FEDE-ITS will improve the STI knowledge and its treatment, of adolescents in the 1st and 2nd year of compulsory secondary education in the intervention group compared to compared to the control group, and will modify the sexual risk practices and the perception of risky practices of alcohol and other drug use during sex of participants in the intervention group compared to the control group.
To Demonstrate Clinical Performance of the TriQuik Invitro Diagnostic Device
The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of linezolid for the treatment of syphilis.
A prospective interventional study to evaluate a strategy of point-of-care testing for sexually transmitted infections including chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, syphilis, and Hepatitis B with comprehensive case management including partner notification in antenatal settings in Harare province, Zimbabwe.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), hepatitis C (HCV), and syphilis are sexually transmitted and blood borne infections (STBBI) that affect millions of people worldwide and rates are rising in Canada. HCV and syphilis are curable, and HIV is treatable with virtually no risk of transmission to sexual partners when the infection is controlled, however, these outcomes require adequate testing. Unfortunately, an estimated 44% of Canadians living with HCV and 13% living with HIV are not diagnosed. These undiagnosed cases are the source of over half of new HIV infections. Furthermore, HIV-syphilis coinfection is common. Accessible testing forms a key pillar of an elimination strategy and acts as an access point for linking people to care. Community pharmacies are more accessible site for STBBI testing, compared to hospitals and doctors' offices. This is especially true for members of marginalized communities, some of whom are at higher risk of infection. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for low-barrier STBBI testing, as in-person healthcare services at doctors' offices and traditional screening clinics were scaled back. Pharmacies remained open throughout the pandemic. The APPROACH 2.0 study will assess the impact of a pharmacy-based testing program for HIV, hepatitis C, and syphilis in participating pharmacies in three Canadian provinces: Newfoundland & Labrador, Alberta, and Nova Scotia on finding new diagnoses and linkages with care. Participants will be offered point of care tests for HIV and/or HCV and/or a dry blood spot test which will test for HIV, HCV, and syphilis. These tests are easy to administer. Results from the point of care tests are available immediately during the pharmacy visit while participants will be contacted with dried blood spot test results when available (approximately 2 weeks). Participants with reactive tests are linked with confirmatory testing and care, and those with non-reactive results are offered preventative services including HIV PrEP (as indicated) and counselling. This study builds on a pilot study completed in 2017 (www.APPROACHstudy.ca).
The main objective of this prospective observational cohort study is to investigate the epidemiology, the risk factors and ultimately the incidence of novel HIV infections among individuals at high risk for acquiring HIV via sex practices.
This is a prospective cohort study evaluating acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of integrating HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) into a sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic alongside assisted partner notification and etiologic STI testing in Lilongwe, Malawi.
The Trep-AB clinical trial will test the efficacy of an investigational neuropenetrative drug, Linezolid (LZD), compared to standard treatment, Benzathine penicillin G (BPG), for early syphilis in humans. The overarching idea of the work proposed herein is to investigate the use of LZD to treat syphilis, conducting a randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate this new indication of a known antibacterial agent.
This study is designed to compare the performance of the NOWDx Syphilis Test to a currently marketed device. The intent is to show the rapid test device is comparable to the currently marketed device. The NOWDx Syphilis Test is intended for qualitatively detecting the presence or absence of human antibodies to syphilis in human whole blood to aid in the diagnosis of infection caused by Treponema pallidum.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of cefixime compared to benzathine penicillin G in the treatment of syphilis.
