OBJECTIVES To assess the feasibility and acceptability of home screening for repeat chlamydial infection using urine test kits sent through the mail. METHODS A letter offering home rescreening was mailed to 399 adults who previously tested positive for chlamydia. Kits were then mailed to anyone who did not actively decline. The home testing kits contained instructions on how to collect a urin...
The Brazilian HIV/AIDS epidemic is concentrated among men who have sex with men (MSM), however HIV testing rates among MSM are not commensurate with their risk. Strategies to expand early diagnosis may include use of self-conducted home-based testing kits, which are now available for purchase in the US. In April 2011 we conducted a survey with Brazilian MSM using Facebook to assess HIV testing ...
BACKGROUND Chlamydia is most common among young people, but only a small proportion of Australian young people are tested annually. Home-based chlamydia testing has been piloted in several countries to increase testing rates, but uptake has been low. We aimed to identify predictors of uptake of home-based chlamydia testing to inform future testing programs. METHODS We offered home-based chlam...
BACKGROUND Cytokines and chemokines are relevant biomarkers of pathology and immunity to infectious diseases such as malaria. Several commercially available kits based on quantitative suspension array technologies allow the profiling of multiple cytokines and chemokines in small volumes of sample. However, kits are being continuously improved and information on their performance is lacking. M...
The Impact of Integration of Rapid Syphilis Testing during Routine Antenatal Services in Rural Kenya
We evaluated the integration of rapid syphilis tests (RSTs) and penicillin treatment kits into routine antenatal clinic (ANC) services in two rural districts in Nyanza Province, Kenya. In February 2011, nurses from 25 clinics were trained in using RSTs and documenting test results and treatment. During March 2011-February 2012, free RSTs and treatment kits were provided to clinics for use durin...
AIMS We have tested the relative performance of 20 commercial ANA test kits along with that of our own laboratory to assess whether one was clearly superior. METHODS The sera were drawn from 3 pools that had all been pre-tested in our laboratory: patients with definite SLE; patients with non-connective tissue diseases (CTD), but where a positive FANA had been found; and normal blood donors. T...
BACKGROUND Gay and bisexual men (GBM) are a major risk group for HIV acquisition, yet the majority of higher-risk GBM test for HIV less often than recommended (3-6 monthly). HIV self-testing has the potential to increase testing frequency and improve awareness of personal HIV status. HIV self-tests have been approved in some countries, however there are concerns whether self-testing would incre...
