Sažetak

Sexually transmitted diseases exhibit a high spreading potential. Moreover, due to discrete or absent symptoms a patient can spread STDs to a number of other persons. Stigma associated with sexually transmitted diseases also delays a visit to a physician and effective treatment. Many patients remain undiagnosed and untreated. The development of tests based on the amplification of pathogen nucleic acids has resulted in more sensitive and robust diagnostic procedures.
Unfortunately, many of these tests are either commercially unavailable or too expensive, especially for those areas where they
are needed most. The lack of timely, accurate and affordable diagnostics requires the exploitation of other options, i.e. a simple,
acceptable and safe therapy of sexually transmitted diseases.
