Online options to request sexually transmissible infections testing are increasingly popular and a free online chlamydia and gonorrhoea urine testing service is available for people living in Queensland, Australia. Data from 3 August 2017 to 31 August 2019 provide information for 1316 reminder calls to young people (aged 16-29 years) to encourage sample submission. The reminder calls generated few additional samples for testing, suggesting young people may have changed their mind about using the service, sought testing elsewhere or were reluctant to talk further about their original decision to request a test online.
在线申请检测性传播感染的方式越来越流行,澳大利亚昆士兰州为民众提供免费的在线衣原体和淋病尿液检测服务。2017 年 8 月 3 日至 2019 年 8 月 31 日的数据为 1316 个提醒电话提供了信息,这些电话是为了鼓励年轻人(16-29 岁)提交样本。这些提醒电话只增加了少量的样本进行检测,这表明年轻人可能已经改变了使用该服务的想法,或者在其他地方进行了检测,或者不愿意进一步谈论他们最初在线申请检测的决定。
