Study Procedures
gonorrhea, chlamydia
TRICHOMONIASIS, GONORRHEA
After informed consent, participants randomized to either of the 2 SRH arms were offered home-based STI specimen collection. For female participants, research staff described the procedure to self-collect a vaginal swab. Menstruating females provided urine specimens. Male participants were instructed to collect a first-catch urine specimen. All participants were provided an AYFS clinic referral to receive their STI test results in 7 days. Participants were informed that if any test results return positive and they do not present to the clinic, research staff will attempt to contact them to ensure they receive treatment. Treatment of STI was provided according to South African national clinical guidelines (single-dose ceftriaxone and azithromycin for gonorrhea, single-dose azithromycin or 7-day course of doxycycline for chlamydia, single-dose metronidazole for trichomoniasis).
