Patient demand on sexual health services in the United Kingdom is so high that many services have introduced online screening to accommodate more patients. There are concerns that these services may not be accessible to all. This service evaluation was undertaken to determine whether online screening is accessible by those patients most at need by comparing the demographics and number of asymptomatic chlamydial infections detected online and in clinic. No difference was found in the age nor level of deprivation, demonstrating that online services are an accessible way to screen for sexually transmitted infections without overburdening established services.

Genitourinary Medicine

Summary: The association of musculoskeletal disorders and genitourinary symptoms is reviewed. Reactive arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis can present with a variety of genitourinary symptoms. Similarly sexually transmitted diseases including gonorrhoea, syphilis, HIV and other viral infections can affect the musculoskeletal system. Reiter's syndrome may be a consequence of a sexually transmitted infection although its presentation can suggest that also in postdysenteric cases. The fact that conditions may present to various medical specialties requires doctors outside departments of GUM to allow their patients an opportunity and the time to discuss sexual matters.
