Global health sector strategies on, respectively, HIV, viral hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections for the period 2022-2030 guide the health sector in implementing strategically focused responses to achieve the goals of ending AIDS, viral hepatitis B and C and sexually transmitted infections by 2030. The 2022-2030 strategies recommend shared and disease-specific country actions supported by actions by the World Health Organization and partners. They consider the epidemiological, technological, and contextual shifts of recent years, foster learnings across the disease areas, and create opportunities to leverage innovations and new knowledge for effective responses to HIV, viral hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections. The strategies call for a precise focus to reach the people most affected and at risk for each disease that addresses inequities. They promote synergies under a universal health coverage and primary health care framework and contribute to achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Seventy-Fifth World Health Assembly requested progress reports on the implementation of the strategies in 2024, 2026, 2028 and 2031, noting that the 2026 report will provide a mid-term review based on the progress made in meeting the strategies’ 2025 targets.

This document highlights the diagnostics available now to support scale-up and expanded access to screening to meet the growing testing demands in LMICs. The document is intended to compliment the WHO STI Laboratory Manual. The focus of this landscape is on the technologies (tests, platforms and systems for use in resource-limited settings) commercially available at the time of publication for syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, mycoplasma, herpes, and HPV. This document does not provide market assessments or pipelines for new technologies but recognizes the need for additional complimentary documents to support decision makers in prioritizing STI testing in LMICs. The target audience for this document is broad but includes mainly national program managers.

The WHO laboratory manual provides microbiologists and medical technologists with an up-to- date comprehensive guide on how to isolate, detect, and diagnose STIs, including HIV. The scope of the manual has been expanded to include chapters on the use of molecular tests, rapid point-of-care tests, and quality management of diagnostic tests and hence the manual will also be of interest to STI and HIV programme managers and clinical staff.
