This report presents the results of a systematic literature review investigating the impact of novel strategies and approaches (using existing and/or novel testing technologies) on access to testing, testing coverage, and linkage to care of key populations at-risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In addition, the report presents the following: the testing technologies used for the identified novel strategies and approaches; reported quality assurance needs and risks; and reported feasibility and acceptability. Lastly, the report identifies gaps in knowledge and research priorities. The target audience of this report is policy-makers, national programme coordinators, public health or clinical experts and civil society organisations involved in STI prevention and control in EU/EEA countries.
