By minimizing barriers to testing, an increased number of infections can be detected and treated. A home-based point-of-care (POC) sexually transmitted infection (STI) test may reduce personal, structural, social and system-level barriers to STI testing. This study assesses patient preferences and acceptance of home-based POC STI testing. We performed a cross-sectional, single-visit study of women aged 18\u2009years and older at a single site. Women completed an anonymous online survey evaluating interest in POC STI testing, comfort in self-collecting vaginal swabs and participant reaction to a positive STI result. 138 participants completed the anonymous online survey. The survey results indicate high acceptability with self-collection of samples and home POC STI testing. A majority of participants were interested or very interested in a home POC STI device-especially amongst women with a past history of a STI. If receiving a positive test result, participants indicated they would want to have someone to discuss their results with, most preferring to speak with their primary care provider. Women on lower incomes were less comfortable and less interested with home testing. Women are likely to be receptive to home POC STI testing. Adapting to home-based testing will require engagement of primary care providers for management and surveillance of STIs.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0956462420955067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,30]],"date-time":"2020-09-30T08:48:42Z","timestamp":1601455722000},"page":"1352-1358","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Attitudes of women participating in a clinical trial on point-of-care testing and home testing for STIs"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8027-3233","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karen","family":"Chow","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rina","family":"Edi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine and Public Health, University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Geneen","family":"Gin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Medicine and Public Health, University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheldon R","family":"Morris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA"},{"name":"Department of Family Medicine and Public Health, University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
