1 Rapid Point-of-Care Tests for STIs: needs, progress, challenges Ranmini Kularatne Centre for HIV and STIs National Institute for Communicable Diseases National Health Laboratory Service South Africa Nov 2017
2 Overview Characteristics of an ideal POCT Needs: Asymptomatic STIs STIs in priority/ key populations Extragenital infections Progress: Available assays Assays in the pipeline Challenges: Technical aspects & training requirements Performance characteristics in the field EQA/ PTS Impact on treatment? Strategic implementation
3 WHO Criteria for POCT: ASSURED A - Affordable S - Sensitive S - Specific U - User-friendly R - Rapid & Robust E - Equipment-free D - Deliverable to end-users

POCT (SD Bioline) would result in a higher proportion of pregnant women with active syphilis receiving treatment c/t standard testing (82% v 16%).
24 Cost-effectiveness of Syphilis POCTs Decision-analytic model for 43 sub-saharan African countries Use of rapid POCTs for antenatal syphilis screening is highly cost-effective in SSA: reduction in DALYs per health care dollar spent higher in countries with high prevalence rates. Stillbirths averted Neonatal deaths averted Cases of congenital syphilis averted DALYs averted Increase in direct medical cost Cost/ DALY averted 95% CI SA ,028 $ 920,106 $ 31 (12-170) Probability screening is costeffective Prevalence Target rate 99.8% 0.008%
25 POCT assays in the pipeline
26 Next-generation technologies: microfluidics and nanotechnologies 1. Sample preparation Microfluidic sample processing: micro or nanoparticles (magnetic) complexed with antibodies to bind target analyte 2. Target detection a) Optical: fluorescence, absorbance, chemiluminescence b) Non-optical: electrical sensing, elctrochemical

31 STI POCTs: challenges
32 Interpreting results of syphilis POCTs Reading of results Time to reading of results Chembio DPP: read result mins after addition of buffer; DO NOT read result after 20 mins from addition of buffer to well 1. VisiTect Syphilis: negative results must be confirmed only at the end of 30 minutes.
33 Impact of rapid syphilis tests on screening and treatment at ante-natal care facilities Rural district in Zambia: 18 healthcare facilities Improved syphilis testing uptake in first 6 months Endline test period: frequent stock-outs of RST kits; lack of sustained on-site supervision Lack of impact of increased screening on treatment
34 Sexually Transm Dis 2013; 40 (11): Systematic review of 2,379 maternity clinic records at 6 public clinics in Northern Cape and Gauteng Only 41% tested for HIV and 71% tested for syphilis at first pregnancy visit Women tested for syphilis were almost 4 times more likely to have had no HIV test (OR 3.9, 95% CI = ) 243 had reactive HIV tests: only 104 (43%) had documented sdnvp treatment before delivery 98 with reactive syphilis: 73% received one penicillin injection, only 36% received all 3 injections Only 47% began treatment within 2 weeks of test Lack of functional integration of care at facility level
35 WHO Criteria for POCT: ASSURED A S S U R E D Cost-effective, integration into HCT, PreEP, PMTCT Field evaluation studies: whole blood, non-invasive specimens Dual TP/ NTP rapid tests can reduce over-treatment Training: technical aspects, results interpretation, ongoing EQA/ PTS, timeous results delivery & action Adequate sample collection, stock management Treatment availability, patient education
36 Where would rapid STI POCTs be most useful? 1. Targeted screening for asymptomatic STIs in priority and high-risk populations Include screening for extra-genital infections 2. Screening for syphilis at ante-natal care facilities Remote rural sites with limited access to laboratory facilities Late-bookers Low patient return rates 3. Early warning surveillance for drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection: aetiological testing of treatment failure cases 4. Screening for asymptomatic STIs in pregnant females 5. Identifying STIs in symptomatic VDS patients
