Diagnosing and containing sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) remains a worldwide challenge of huge proportions. The
Determine® line of rapid in vitro qualitative immunoassays helps professionals to detect STDs -- HIV, hepatitis B, and syphilis – in 15 minutes.
Some 37.8 million people are currently living with HIV; 4.8 million were newly infected in 2003. With the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic, this simple, rapid Determine® test can help not only in diagnosing individual infection, but also in preventing mother-to-child transmission, monitoring HIV prevalence, and screening blood donations.
Hepatitis B remains endemic in large portions of the world and continues to cause significant morbidity.
Syphilis remains a public health threat around the world, and this rapid diagnostic test can play a pivotal role in global efforts to control this disease. In addition to the inherent risks of morbidity and mortality to infants born to maternal carriers, syphilis also increases, by 2- to 5-fold, a patient’s chance of acquiring HIV infection. Determine® Syphilis TP is a highly accurate, reliable diagnostic tool for controlling this serious disease—useful for screening pregnant women for congenital syphilis, and for on-site testing of those with suspicious clinical lesions.
The Determine® brand
name is the professional’s first choice when it comes to simple, rapid tests for sexually transmitted diseases.
