Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of two rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for syphilis (Bioline and Determine) specifically in people living with HIV (PLWH) in Cali, Colombia.
- A total of 244 participants were studied, revealing high sensitivity for Bioline and variability in Determine's performance based on sample type and ART status.
- Despite the overall excellent performance of the RDTs for screening syphilis in PLWH, concerns were noted regarding the lower sensitivity of Determine on capillary blood compared to serum samples.
