| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | To find if giving female index patients diagnosed with chlamydia a home sampling kit for sexual contacts leads to more partners being identified and treated than giving out traditional contacts slips. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Chlamydia |
| Intervention | 200 female patients attending the Genito-Urinary clinic at the Derby Royal Infirmary with a diagnosis of genital chlamydia infection will be invited to participate in the study. Following informed consent, participants will be randomised to either the conventional partner notification arm using contact slips or the home sampling kit for partner notification arm. Patients in the conventional arm of the study will be seen by a health advisor and details of contacts recorded. Contact slips will be given to the index patient to give to sexual contacts who then bring this into the clinic for testing using a traditional urethral swab and receive appropriate treatment. Sexual contacts will be invited to see the health advisor and have screening tests for other sexually transmitted infections when they come into the clinic. |
