Sex Transm Dis. 2015 May;42(5):243-5. doi: 10.1097/OLQ.0000000000000270.

Abstract

The www.iwantthekit.org provides Internet-based, at-home sexually transmitted infection screening. The Web site implemented an automated test result access system. To evaluate potential deleterious effects of the new system, we analyzed demographics, Web site usage, and treatment. The post-Web site design captured more participant information and no decrease in requests, kit return, or treatment adherence.
