目的评估的影响，短信服务（SMS）提醒系统对艾滋病毒/性传播感染（STI）之间的男性与男性发生性关系（MSM）的再检测率。方法的SMS提醒程序开始于2008年底在澳大利亚的一个大型性健康诊所。建议根据自我报告的性行为，对被认为是高风险的男男性行为者每月进行3-6次短信提醒。该评价比较了2010年1月1日至8月31日期间接受艾滋病毒/性传播感染检测并收到短信提醒的艾滋病毒阴性男男性行为者（短信组）与在同一时间段（对照组）和短信前时期（短信前组，2008年1月1日和2008年8月31日）接受检测但没有收到短信的人。在9个月内测量各组的艾滋病毒/性传播感染复检率。基线特征进行了比较研究组和多变量Logistic回归用于评估SMS和重新测试和控制任何不平衡的Studygroups.Results之间的关联有714 HIV阴性MSM在SMS组，1084在对照组和1753在前SMS组。在SMS组中，64%在9个月内重新测试，而对照组为30%（p
Objectives To evaluate the impact of a short message service (SMS) reminder system on HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI) re-testing rates among men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods The SMS reminder programme started in late 2008 at a large Australian sexual health clinic. SMS reminders were recommended 3-6 monthly for MSM considered high-risk based on self-reported sexual behaviour. The evaluation compared HIV negative MSM who had a HIV/STI test between 1 January and 31 August 2010 and received a SMS reminder (SMS group) with those tested in the same time period (comparison group) and pre-SMS period (pre-SMS group, 1 January 2008 and 31 August 2008) who did not receive the SMS. HIV/STI re-testing rates were measured within 9 months for each group. Baseline characteristics were compared between study groups and multivariate logistic regression used to assess the association between SMS and re-testing and control for any imbalances in the study groups.Results There were 714 HIV negative MSM in the SMS group, 1084 in the comparison group and 1753 in the pre-SMS group. In the SMS group, 64% were re-tested within 9 months compared to 30% in the comparison group (p
