Does using self-completed sexual history questionnaires in HIV-positive men who have sex with men affect clinical outcomes?

Oliver Koch et al. Int J STD AIDS. 2008 Mar.

Abstract

This audit compared sexual histories taken by self-completed questionnaires (SQ) versus the 'gold-standard' of 'traditional' face-to-face interviews by health-care professionals (HP). It compared reporting of symptoms and sexual behaviour and looked at outcomes in terms of diagnoses of sexually transmitted infections. SQ were at least equal to HP and might therefore be a valuable tool in streamlining services.
