Summary

"This trial is testing a new syphilis antibody test called the Multiplo Complete Syphilis Antibody Test in an urban STI clinic. They will be using a finger-prick blood sample to

Who is the study for?
This clinical trial is for individuals visiting a sexual health clinic in Ottawa who may have syphilis. The study aims to include participants from this specific urban population without any further specified inclusion or exclusion criteria provided.
What is being tested?
The trial is evaluating the Multiplo Complete Syphilis (TP/nTP) Antibody Test, which uses a finger-prick blood sample to quickly diagnose syphilis at the point of care within the clinic setting.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves diagnostic testing rather than medication or intervention, side effects are minimal and may include temporary discomfort or bruising at the site of the finger prick.
