Market Challenges And Opportunities

Social stigma associated with STDs testing

Even though prevalence of STDs is very high, out of 37.7 million people having HIV in 2020 still do not know their HIV status due to limited testing. For instance, according to a study published by Journal of the International AIDS society on November 16, 2022, a total of 96 cases were considered.  Frequency of next HIV/STI testing among those already diagnosed with an STI was 35.3% and who had symptoms with STIs was 27.1%. A few potential reasons for these observations include differences in national STI-related policies, lack of standard operation procedures, clinician-level factors, poor awareness and adherence to HIV indicator condition-guided HIV testing, and stigma associated with HIV compared to other curable STIs.

To counterbalance this restraint, an awareness programs should be conducted to eliminate stigma from society.

Reduction in funding for the treatment of STDs

Reduction in funding to fight against STDs can restrain market growth in forecast period. For instance, on June 13, 2023, The Center for Disease Control, U.S. based government organization reduced funding for workers who fight sexually transmitted infections in the U.S. states. The reduction in funding was by US$ 400 million. The spending cuts are according to recently passed debt ceiling deal.

To counterbalance this restraint, more government funding for research activities should be allocated.
