Study finds decreased testing could lead to surge in sexually transmitted infections ANI | Updated: May 25, 2021 20:45 IST Pennsylvania [US], May 25 (ANI): Screening and testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) decreased by 63 per cent for men and 59 per cent for women during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new study led by Penn State and Quest Diagnostics researchers. The researchers said this may be the result of restrictions placed on direct patient care and shifts to telehealth and could lead to a possible future surge in STI cases. This is the first national study to explore the impact of the pandemic on STIs since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shared its analysis showing an all-time high level of cases in the United States in 2019.
