Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a major public health concern that must be addressed with innovative screening methods to supplement traditional approaches. Home-based screening with self-collected urine or vaginal specimens is a highly feasible and acceptable method, and shows promise in improving STI screening rates in both men and women. Home collection kits have been offered in a variety of settings, with results ranging from very modest improvements in screening rates to 100-fold increases beyond the rates observed with clinic-based screening. This article describes and evaluates the effectiveness and limitations of various home screening strategies used for the detection of STIs.
性传播感染（STIs）是一个重大的公共卫生问题，必须采用创新的筛查方法来补充传统方法。基于家庭的自我采集尿液或阴道标本筛查是一种非常可行且可接受的方法，有望提高男性和女性的性传播感染筛查率。家庭采集试剂盒已在各种环境中提供，结果显示筛查率略有提高，也有 100 倍以上的提高，超过了基于诊所的筛查率。本文描述和评估了用于检测性传播感染的各种家庭筛查策略的有效性和局限性。
