Shifting Grounds—Facilitating Self-Care in Testing for Sexually Transmitted Infections Through the Use of Self-Test Technology: Qualitative Study

Shifting Grounds—Facilitating Self-Care in Testing for Sexually Transmitted Infections Through the Use of Self-Test Technology: Qualitative Study

Furthermore, 6 sexual health clinics in the country perform testing and screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). All of these testing options require that patients book an appointment and attend a face-to-face consultation, which may be a barrier for some patients because feelings of embarrassment and stigma are well-known deterrents to STI testing [4,5].

Exploring the Use of Customized Links to Improve Electronic Engagement With Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Among Young African American Male Individuals: Web-Based Survey Study

Exploring the Use of Customized Links to Improve Electronic Engagement With Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Among Young African American Male Individuals: Web-Based Survey Study

Nearly half of the 26 million people who are diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States are younger than 25 years old [1]. Within this population, heterosexual African American male individuals aged between 18 and 24 engage in higher rates of risky sexual behavior (eg, early sexual initiation, inconsistent condom use, sex while under the influence, and multiple partners) and face a disproportionate burden of STIs compared to other adolescents and young adults [2-4].

An Intervention to Increase Condom Use Among Users of Sexually Transmitted Infection Self-sampling Websites (Wrapped):      Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial

An Intervention to Increase Condom Use Among Users of Sexually Transmitted Infection Self-sampling Websites (Wrapped): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial

Rates of chlamydia among 15- to 24-year-olds have been high but stable over recent years, whereas increases have been observed for other STIs, such as gonorrhea and syphilis [2]. The removal of COVID-19 restrictions and an increase in testing availability will likely bring with it a return to prepandemic levels of STI diagnoses and as such, sexual health continues to be a public health concern [1].

Brief Intervention to Prevent Sexually Transmitted Infections and Unintended Pregnancies: Protocol of a Mixed Methods Feasibility Study

Brief Intervention to Prevent Sexually Transmitted Infections and Unintended Pregnancies: Protocol of a Mixed Methods Feasibility Study

The confluence of these components promotes sexual health and may avert two consequences that arise from risky sexual behavior: acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, and unintended pregnancies [1]. Brief interventions are seen as efficient ways to improve knowledge, change behavior [5-12], and reduce provider stigma regarding sexual health [13,14].

Prevention of HIV and Other Sexually Transmissible Infections in Expatriates and Traveler Networks: Qualitative Study of Peer Interaction in an Online Forum

We make recommendations for policy makers and health-promoting organizations to use these findings to develop, improve, and expand the reach of public health interventions to reduce the transmission and impact of HIV and other STIs with mobile populations who are hard to access.
