Mobile community-based STD screening and treatment are feasible, identify high positivity of STDs, and are accepted by the community as an innovative approach to STD control.

This analysis suggests that syphilis transmission is maintained by a community with a small percentage of high-risk persons centrally placed amidst a larger group with moderately risky behavior.

Community members trust the public sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinic, are generally not concerned with the race of healthcare providers, and are supportive of community-based STD screening, treatment, and antibiotic prophylaxis provided from a mobile clinic.
