Clinical Trial Summary

Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are the first and second most commonly reported sexually transmitted infections (STI) in Canada, respectively, and rates are increasing. While CT and NG can cause a variety of non-specific symptoms, an estimated 77% of CT and 45% of NG cases are asymptomatic. Consequently, many individuals remain undiagnosed, or have delayed diagnosis and consequently miss effective and well-tolerated therapies and may transmit the infection(s) to sexual partners. Untreated CT infection may result in serious sequelae. Also, CT and NG infection are associated with increased risk of acquiring HIV and some cancers. Access to STI testing and treatment are two of the core pillars in the Pan-Canadian Sexually Transmitted and Blood Borne Infections (STBBI) Framework for Action. Currently many Canadians lack a primary care physician and many STI specific clinics are centered in urban areas, further challenging access in rural communities. Increasing access to these core pillars is paramount to reduce the health impact of STBBIs in Canada by 2030. The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate a novel pilot project including pharmacy-based CT and NG management (including specimen self-collection [pharyngeal, anorectal and/or vaginal swabs, and/or urine sample], assessment, treatment, and linkage to care) by community pharmacists in Nova Scotia.
