To target improvement actions, we need to find out who these patients are. This study aimed to explore factors associated with failure to return within 30\u2009days (FTR30) after testing among patients with positive results in a free STI testing centre in Paris.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>All patients with at least one positive result between October 2016 and May 2017 and who completed a self-administered questionnaire were included in this cross-sectional study (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009214).

Most patients were born in metropolitan France (56%) or in sub-Saharan Africa (22%). Men who had sex with men represented 36% of the study population. The FTR30 rate was 14% (95% CI [10\u201319%]). In multivariate analysis, previous HIV testing in younger persons (aOR: 3.36, 95% CI [1.27\u20138.84]), being accompanied by another person at the pretest consultation (aOR: 3.45, 95% CI [1.36\u20138.91]), and lower self-perceived risk of HIV infection (aOR: 2.79, 95% CI [1.07\u20137.30]) were associated with a higher FTR30. Testing for chlamydia\/gonorrhoea without presumptive treatment was associated with a lower FTR30 (aOR: 0.21, 95% CI [0.07\u20130.59]).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>These factors that affect failure to return are related to the patient\u2019s representations and involvement in the STI screening process.
