Abstract
This study explored perceptions of sexually transmitted infection (STI) risks and barriers to STI secondary prevention among Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel and their health care providers using semistructured interviews. Results underlined a number of factors that facilitated STI testing practices in this setting, including the accessibility, staff, and protocols of the clinic. They also pointed to both positive and negative influences of military culture on STI screening practices. Despite the small scale of the study, findings provide valuable insight into possible directions for future research on the secondary prevention of STIs in the military context.
