“…al. also reported shorter test to treatment times on average in those who received text message results compared to phone calls (5.1 days vs. 6.7 days, p=0.036); furthermore, among the SMS group, significantly more participants who called the clinic back were treated within 10 days than those who did not call back (88% vs. 80%, p=0.015) [64].…”

Syphilis continues to be a growing epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly for those living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In 2016, MSM accounted for 80% of primary and secondary syphilis diagnoses in men in the United States; almost half of who were also HIV-infected. The synergistic relationship between HIV and syphilis has significant implications not only for HIV patient management, but also for sexually transmitted infection (STI) control among MSM. Areas covered: We review the literature on STI screening and treatment barriers at the patient-, provider-, and health system-levels, and present strategies to incorporate STI prevention into HIV care settings. Expert commentary: Integration of STI prevention into HIV care is paramount to stop the epidemic of not only syphilis, but also other curable STIs like gonorrhea and chlamydia. Although guidelines have been established for STI testing in HIV-infected MSM, screening rates continue to be lower than desired. Gonorrhea and chlamydia screening is below 50% in HIV-infected MSM; interventions that improve testing of those two infections must be implemented. For syphilis control, other additional strategies such as chemoprophylaxis should be considered given syphilis screening is above 50% in HIV-infected MSM.

“…This acceptance rate was similar to the 69% acceptance rate observed in a UK study conducted in a genitourinary clinic 9 and higher than that observed in the United States (52%). 7 In our matched case-control study, we found that participation in the SMS program was not related to screening results, as the proportion of positive results did not differ between the no-SMS group and the SMS group. In multivariate analysis, the seriousness of the disease screened (at least HIV and viral hepatitis) was also not associated with SMS program participation.…”

“…4–9 Firstly, the texting notification protocol reduces delay between screening and treatment and decreases the proportion of untreated patients. 6,7,10 For example, a study conducted in an inner London sexual health clinic found that texting decreased the time to treatment for genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection from 15.0 to 8.5 days. 6 Secondly, as negative results are delivered by SMS, the texting protocol reduces the time medical staff spend on delivering negative results, freeing them to spend more time with patients with positive results.…”

“…8,9 Although not specific to AIAN communities, investigators have demonstrated the feasibility of chlamydia screening in schools and community settings, 10 the effectiveness of home-based testing with reminder calls for increasing rescreening, 11 and the use of text messaging for results delivery and partner services. 12,13 In Washington State, the use of patient-delivered partner therapy exceeds that in any other US state. 14 Free, prepackaged partner treatments for gonorrhea and chlamydial infection are available through clinics, including the IHS, and pharmacies throughout the state.…”

Background Rates of chlamydial infection in American Indian/Alaska Native women in the United States are approximately 4-fold those in non-Hispanic white women. We conducted a community-based survey of self-identified American Indian/Alaska Native women 14 to 25 years of age on a reservation in the Northwestern United States to inform a chlamydia screening strategy. Methods The anonymous survey assessed respondents’ knowledge, perceptions, and preferences related to chlamydia screening, results receipt, and partner notification. We recruited women using respondent-driven sampling, school-based sampling, and direct recruitment through social media and fliers. Participants in schools completed the survey as a paper-based, self-administered survey. Other participants could complete the survey in person, by phone as an interviewer-administered survey, or online. Results We recruited 162 participants, most in schools (n = 83; 51%) or by peer referral (n = 55; 34%). Only 1 woman completed the survey online. Thirty-one respondents (19%) reported a history of an unplanned first pregnancy, and 19 (12%) reported a history of a diagnosed sexually transmitted disease. Most women (n = 98; 63%) recognized the potential impact of Chlamydia trachomatis on fertility. The preferred site for chlamydia screening was the Indian Health Service Clinic (n = 114; 70%), but 79 women (41%) would accept a C. trachomatis test at a nonclinical testing site. Of the 56 women (35%) who would accept home testing, most preferred to get the test kit from a clinic. Conclusions Our results suggest that Indian Health Service efforts to increase chlamydia screening in the clinic and through outreach may be more successful than promotion of home testing in this population.
