Draft search strategies for: "Novel strategies and approaches for testing populations at risk for sexually transmitted infections: A systematic review protocol"

Introduction

This draft search strategy covers two topics: curable STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, trichomoniasis, Mycoplasma genitalium) and novel strategies and approaches to diagnosis. This search strategy was developed in the OvidSP Medline database and tested in OvidSP Embase, OvidSP Global Health and OvidSP PsycINFO. Details of all four searches are provided.

All searches were tested in December 2018.
