Sexually transmitted diseases or venereal diseases (VDs) are one of the most critical health challenges facing the world today. Rising rates of incidence of fatal STDs, corresponding high-economic burden and consequent implementation of Provider-Initiated Counselling and Testing (PICT) and Client-Initiated Counselling and Testing (CICT) are factors that drive the growth of the diagnostic testing market for STDs. Clinical manifestations of STD, for example, Chlamydia range from arthritis, Epididymitis, Orchitis, Infertility in men to Cervicitis, Endometritis, Salpingitis, PID, infertility and Perihepatitis in women; and untreated STDs that display such manifestations are often fatal.

The risk of transmission of Chlamydia infection from an infected male to a female partner is estimated to be about 40% and from an infected female to male is about 30%. Such high rates of transmission, coupled with high rate of undiagnosed and untreated cases (about 85% of women and 40% of men are asymptomatic), renders huge economic burden on healthcare departments across all countries. To ameliorate such cases, healthcare departments across the world, have initiated national screening and also incentivized voluntary screening.

Overall, the afore-mentioned factors result in high testing volume for Chlamydia, which contributes to a larger market share in terms of value. HIV, is incurable and prognosis of HIV leads to numerous infections that result in fatality. HIV infected patients also suffer from other co-infections; HIV and Syphilis have a high co-infection rate of about 25%. Akin to national and voluntary screening implemented for Chlamydia, many healthcare departments implemented CICT and PICT screening for HIV too. Such screening programs are expected to increase HIV testing volumes, which is estimated to reach 2.1 billion by 2020.

Laboratory testing of STDs is significant, despite of the presence of many point-of-care (PoC) testing kits available. Some of the STDs are not diagnosed with point of care methods. For instance, HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus), low-risk HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) and Chancroid that manifest as 'warts' on the patient's skin, require physical examination by the laboratory experts. Also, many of the POC testing devices are not yet approved by the regulatory health authorities such as USFDA, owing to deviations in the sensitivity and specificity criteria. For these reasons, laboratory testing is considered to be most reliable and globally accepted method for STD testing; therefore, garners a comparatively larger market share than POC testing.
