Time line of the proportion of resistant gonorrhoea infections when using culture, NAAT, POC−R, or POC+R. The proportion of resistant infections remains lowest when POC+R is used, followed by culture. The proportion of resistant infections exceeds the 5% threshold (dashed lines) marginally earlier with POC−R than with NAAT. The continuous lines give the median proportion of resistant infections over all simulations. Shaded areas indicate that 50% or 95% of all simulations lie within this range. HMW heterosexual men and women, MSM men who have sex with men, NAAT nucleic acid amplification test, POC point-of-care, POC + R POC test with resistance detection, POC − R POC test without resistance detection
