Since the 2000s, the incidence of bacterial STIs increases, mainly among men who have sex
with men but also among heterosexual men and women with multiple sexual partners. A
partner notification (PN) approach could break transmission chains and curb STI
epidemics. PN brings together a set of interventions to help people diagnosed with STIs
to inform their partners, encourage them to get tested, so that they can access treatment
or prevention. A PN approach, systematically offered at STI diagnosis, has not yet been
implemented in France and needs to be evaluated. In 2018, the Conseil National du Sida
(French National AIDS Council) stated in favor of a formalized PN approach, particularly
in testing centers, which carry out a large part of STI diagnoses.
The aim of our research project is to build interventions facilitating information,
testing and treatment of partners of people diagnosed with STIs in testing centers and
sexual health clinics.
Step 1: A cross-sectional study
Primary objective
To describe the PN practices of people diagnosed with an STI in testing centers and
sexual health clinics without any intervention
Secondary objectives
- To describe the profiles of people diagnosed with an STI in testing centers or
sexual health clinics and therefore likely to receive an intervention to help them
notify their partners;
- To describe the profiles of people notified by their partners and who attend testing
centers or sexual health clinics for STI testing;
- To describe the notification received by these notified partners and identify the
facilitators of testing use following notification.
Step 2: A qualitative study
Objectives
- To evaluate the acceptability of testing center staff for an STI notification
program in general and discuss the feasibility of interventions pre-identified by a
literature review;
- In a collaborative (researchers and staffs) approach, to adapt these interventions
to (1) the testing centers working and (2) the needs of their users identified in
the cross-sectional study.
Expected results
This study is the first step in implementation of a PN program as part of a comprehensive
management of STI diagnoses in France.
