Recent advances in diagnostic tests for sexually transmitted diseases include the development of a synthetic Venereal Disease Research Laboratory reagent that will improve the sensitivity and stability of nontreponemal serologic tests for syphilis. A second generation user friendly and high throughput nucleic acid amplification test for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae has also been developed.
