Advocacy and Policy Change:
Transforming STI Care
At Next Lab Foundation, we are committed to more than just treating sexually transmitted infections (STIs)—we’re driving the systemic changes necessary to create lasting impact. Our advocacy efforts focus on influencing healthcare policies that expand access to STI care, including advanced molecular resistance testing and prioritizing comprehensive, equitable treatment for all. We strive to eliminate the stigma surrounding STIs and work toward their effective treatment and eventual eradication.
Our Mission for
Systemic Change
Our goal is to collaboratively work with payers and providers to integrate advanced resistance testing into healthcare protocols, ensuring accessibility for all. Through these efforts, we aim to improve patient outcomes and deliver broader public health benefits.
By removing financial barriers to AMR diagnostics, we ensure patients can access care immediately. Offering free diagnostics also allows us to collect data that demonstrates the benefits of including molecular AMR testing in payer policies, driving widespread adoption when insurance companies cover these tests.
Our data-driven approach is shaping policy changes and encouraging the broader use of molecular AMR testing in healthcare settings. This will improve treatment options nationwide while contributing to public health improvements—such as reducing AMR growth, lowering healthcare costs, easing strain on systems, and promoting responsible antibiotic use.
Bridging Science and
Everyday Care
Our commitment to advocacy extends beyond policy to the clinical community. We work to ensure that the latest scientific advancements in STI care are translated into everyday practice, empowering healthcare providers to deliver precise, effective care that improves public health outcomes.
We believe innovation and advocacy go hand in hand in the fight against STIs. Be part of our journey to redefine healthcare, advancing innovation, and making meaningful progress with every advancement.
