The study evaluated the performance of a novel lateral flow assay for gonorrhoea among pregnant women attending routine antenatal care in Zimbabwe, against the Xpert CT/NG (reference test). This evaluation was embedded within the IPSAZ study (Investigating point-of-care diagnostics for sexually transmitted infections and antimicrobial resistance in primary care in Zimbabwe).
