Partner Notification Outcomes for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea Case Diagnosed Through Clinics vs GetCheckedOnline in British Columbia

Arina Zamanpour GetCheckedOnline (GCO) is an internet-based testing service for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections in British Columbia that is highly accepted by clients. Using a matched case-control study, we compared treatment uptake, engagement in partner notification (PN), and PN outcomes between chlamydia and/or gonorrhea cases diagnosed through GCO and two provincially-operated sexually transmitted infection clinics. Using a cascade of care, PN outcomes were compared between partners of GCO and clinic cases. These findings will enable us to better understand differences between clients of internet-based testing services and clinic-based clients, as well as inform our PN strategies.
