Abstract

Increasing screening uptake is important to reversing the rising rates of syphilis and congenital syphilis in Canada.1,2 Conventional screening for syphilis involves serologic laboratory testing.1–4 Barriers to

addressed by POCTs.3,4 Pointofcare tests may be particularly beneficial in prenatal care settings and
in communities with emerging syphilis outbreaks.
