The aims of this study were to: (1) describe implementation of POC nucleic acid amplification testing in urban non-clinical outreach settings, and (2) explore demographic and symptom correlates of test positivity to inform testing strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A program evaluation and retrospective data review was conducted of individuals undergoing POC sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing in non-clinical testing sites in Dallas, Texas, USA.

There were 12 cases of chlamydia and 5 cases of gonorrhea diagnosed within 30\u00a0min of testing, and all were referred for treatment within 1 day of testing. No statistically significant associations were detected between test positivity and demographics or symptoms; however, analyses were limited by small sample size.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>POC nucleic acid amplification testing enabled rapid diagnosis and referral in this urban outreach setting.
