Syphilis prevalence among a large regional online postal self-sampling STI testing service (OPSS)
Estimated syphilis prevalence (0.4%) was comparable to rates within national sexual health clinics and the demographic characteristics of those most affected by syphilis were also similar. Further work is required to improve the integration between NHS OPSS and sexual health clinics and to enable OPSS to more accurately input data on treatment and diagnoses towards national surveillance statistics.
