title = "Impact of specimen storage temperature and time on the implementation of GeneXpert{\textregistered} testing for sexually transmitted infections in resource-constraint settings",
abstract = "Implementation of routine laboratory diagnostics is imperative to address the high burden of sexually transmitted infections (STI) in Sub-Saharan Africa. We demonstrate that logistical challenges of specimen storage, temperature and transport time are unlikely to impact on performance of routine STI diagnostics using the GeneXpert (R) platform implemented in these settings.",
