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.

These guidelines update the 2008 UK guideline for the management of sexually acquired reactive arthritis. The guideline is aimed at those over the age of 16 years, presenting to healthcare professionals working in sexual health services. The recommendations are primarily aimed at services offering level 3 care in sexually transmitted infection management within the United Kingdom. However, the principles will apply to those presenting to level 1 and 2 services, and appropriate local referral pathways will need to be developed.

The Third

Human T-lymphotropic virus-1 is a preventable sexually transmitted infection. In the majority of people it is asymptomatic, remaining undiagnosed and thereby contributing to its silent transmission. When it does manifest it causes significant morbidity and mortality. This review summarises the existing evidence for its role in sexual transmission and offers suggestions for those working in the area of sexual health. This is the third part of a series looking at novel sexually transmitted infections.

Consistent with other Western European states, the numbers and rates of bacterial and viral sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland have been increasing since the mid-1990s (1). Recently released figures (collected on the national KC60 statistical returns) on diagnoses made in genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland show that this increase has continued throughout 2001. In 2001, genital chlamydial infection became the most common STI seen in GUM clinics with a total of 71 055 diagnoses. This is the first time in 30 years that a bacterial STI has been the most commonly diagnosed STI and may reflect increased incidence as well as increased awareness and case-finding

Diagnosis And Management

The objective of this guideline is to provide guidance for the diagnosis and management of donovanosis, a now rare sexually transmitted infection. This guidance is primarily for professionals working in UK Sexual Health services (although others may find it useful) and refers to the management of individuals presenting with possible symptoms of donovanosis who are over the age of 16. An updated literature review since the last Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG) guideline produced for this condition in 2011 has shown few new developments. Most reports in the literature relate to cases of unusual presentations of the condition.
