O11.2 Overcoming the ambiguity of sexual partnership type: a novel categorisation using data from britain’s 3^rdnational survey of sexual attitudes and lifestyles (natsal-3)

Abstract

ResultsThe median age of all enrolled participants was 26 (IQR: 23-31), with a median of 3 (IQR: 2-4) partners reported during the previous 30-day period. Among all participants completing follow-up, 111/155 (71.6%) notified at least one partner, with a median of 1 partner notified per participant (IQR: 0-2). For participants randomised to receive PDPT, 69/83 (83.1%) reported notifying at least one partner, compared with 42/72 (58.3%) of participants in the control arm (p = 0.001). The proportion of all recent partners notified was significantly greater in the PDPT than the Control arm (53.5% vs. 36.4%; p = 0.004). Conclusions Provision of PDPT led to significant increases in notification among Peruvian MSM diagnosed with GC/CT infection. Additional research is needed to assess the impact of PDPT on biological outcomes of HIV/STI transmission in MSM sexual networks.
