35 million women have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) on any given day (2018 data).*1
Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC), and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) are the most prevalent non-viral causes of sexually transmitted infections and accounted for ~$1.1 billion in direct medical costs in 2018.1,2

But most people with CT, GC, and TV don’t develop symptoms, so infection often goes unrecognized. Left untreated, they can lead to serious adverse outcomes.3-5
Screening and early detection is the best way to diagnose CT, GC, and TV and avoid the downstream consequences of untreated STIs.6
The BD CTGCTV2 FDA-approved assay is designed to detect CT, GC, and TV—the 3 most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted infections—in a single test.1,6,7
