Title
Click yes to consent: Acceptability of incorporating informed consent into an internet-based testing program for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections.
Abstract
•This manuscript describes an approach for translating clinical practices for achieving informed consent into the navigation path of a publicly-funded internet-based testing service for sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (i.e., where clients are tested without interacting with a health care provider).•This has not been previously described in the literature to our knowledge; discussion of informed consent with respect to online health services has focused on commercial direct-to-consumer genetic testing.•In interviews, potential users of the service valued the formal consent process developed as it reflects concern for the patient, although this may be influenced by prior testing and lived experience.•We found that website design features can disrupt speedy click-through and the routinization of informed consent (e.g., click-through without reading terms), and are directly related to patient perceptions of the value of the consent step.
