2 Objectives 1. To discuss current molecular tests and update new POC tests in the pipeline 2. To demonstrate different venues for STI testing outside the clinic, OTC or home STI testing 3. To mention impact of POC testingadvantages and barriers

3 WHO Estimates of Global Prevalence of STIs in Million 78 Million 143 Million 36.7 million Adults and Children Living with HIV Million Chlamydia Gonorrhea Trichomonas143 Syphilis Newman et al. PLOS ONE OI: /journal.pone December 8, /

4 Use of POC in Clinical Settings Immediate treatment before patient leaves the clinic; no loss to follow-up Impact on disease epidemic? Decrease interval of disease spread Impact on behavior? Counseling on risk reduction ASSURED Criteria When is a test good enough?

5 WHO ASSURED Criteria for POC Tests Affordable by those at risk of infection Sensitive Specific few false negatives few false positives User-friendly simple to perform: 3-4 steps, with minimal training Rapid and Robust rapid: to enable treatment at first visit robust: no requirement refrigerated storage Equipment-free easily collected non-invasive specimens, e.g. urine, saliva. vaginal Delivered delivered to end-users

23 Syphilis: Serologic DX requires detection of two types of antibodies Non-Treponemal RPR, VDRL Treponemal FTA-abs, TPPA, Many new automated, POC Both test types have imperfect specificity Reactive treponemal test cannot distinguish active from inactive infection VDRL: Venereal Disease Research Laboratory RPR: Rapid Plasma Reagin

24 Treponemal Syphilis Tests: EIA/CIA/POC Advantages: Automated and are cost saving for large volume laboratories May detect old untreated syphilis Disadvantages: Less clinical experience with interpretation May be less sensitive than FTAab in early primary syphilis

32 In a laboratory setting, test has an overall sensitivity of 92% to detect any stage of HIV-1 infection using sera specimens. It performs relatively well in detecting early HIV and may be beneficial as an initial screening in patients with a recent exposure to HIV. Additional testing in a laboratory setting remains mandatory as a proportion of acute HIV-1 infections are missed with this test. Van Tienen et al. STI. Published Online First: doi: /sextrans

36 New Data For Time to Test Reactivity Desire to have time since infection/rna reactive Used same serconversion panel data and performed new estimates for time since RNA reactivity Inter-test reactivity interval (ITRI) Eclipse period simulated from published data Why? Valuable to testing providers for interpreting negative HIV test results Counseling individuals on when to retest after an exposure. Delaney et al CID, e=ref&ijkey=p9yzswu8epe5wwp

37 Considerations for HIV POC Testing Locations/populations that lab testing is difficult or not feasible Better to use POC than no test POC assays continue to improve and have good sensitivity and specificity for established infections but Be aware of assay limitations Provide informed counseling messages Oral Fluid assays will miss acute infections and some early infections 1 Stekler et al, JCV 2013, 2 Luo et al JCV 2013

38 Of the 40 patients with AHI, 23 (57.5%) had a reactive STAT-VIEW rapid test. Examining sensitivity of STAT-VIEW over course of AHI duration, probability of HIV detection was 75.5% at 5 weeks. INSTI provided similar results with respect to proportion of reactive tests (62.5%), with probability of HIV detection 85.0% at 5 weeks of infection. Do not rely on a negative result to accurately exclude HIV infection within at least 5 weeks of potential HIV exposure. Some utility in detecting HIV is observed 5 12 weeks after transmission. Boukli et al. STI 2017 doi: /sextrans

39 Of 1914 identified papers, 18 were included for the meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy for HIV and syphilis. All diagnostic accuracy evaluation studies showed a very high sensitivity and specificity for HIV and a lower, yet adequate, sensitivity and specificity for syphilis, with some variation among types of test. Dual screening for HIV and syphilis was more cost effective than single rapid tests for HIV and syphilis and prevented more adverse pregnancy outcomes. Qualitative data suggested dual RDTs were highly acceptable to clients, who cited time to result, cost & requirement of a single finger prick as important characteristics of dual RDTs.

41 Among 827 sexually active participants, 89% had been tested for HIV. Most preferred by participants was home rapid testing (46%), followed by standard-of-care (23%) and rapid testing in healthcare (20%) or community (7%) 73% of participants preferred rapid over non-rapid testing, and 56% preferred testing in non-healthcare settings rather than in healthcare settings.

54 Trichomonas Home Test Analysis Question, N = 92 Easy Somewhat Easy Not Easy How easy was it for you to collect the vaginal specimen correctly? How easy was it for you to read the test strip and interpret (tell) the result? Overall, how easy was it for you to perform the test? Do you believe that the rapid trichomonas test result was correct for the sample that you collected? 88 (95.6%) 3 (3.3% 1 (1.1%) 84 (91.3%) 6 (6.5%) 2 (2.2%) 85 (92.4%) 5 (5.4%) 1 (1.1%) Definitely Correct Probably correct Not Correct 52 (56.5%) 39 (42.4%) 1 (1.1%)

56 Key Applications POC Tests Sexually Transmitted Infections Immediate treatment of positive patients Expedite appropriate therapy Reduce empirical treatment Lower risk of antibiotic resistance Improve compliance / minimize loss to follow-up Decrease forward transmission Lower risk of sequelae Improve the patient experience

57 Barriers to Implementation Financial viability Money for instruments and consumables Obtaining CLIA certificate Validating the new test(s) Policies and procedures (training manuals) Operator training (recertification, proficiency) Getting results into the EMR (interface- $7K?) Space Work Flow Disruption Billing and Reimbursement

58 Conclusions POCTs in primary/sti care and perhaps OTC have great potential But there are barriers to successful implementation that need to be overcome which can be costly, time consuming, and require learning new skill sets Better POC tests are coming; the future is promising
