Table 2 Reduction in model population prevalence (males/females, all ages) under different screening strategies: 1, 5 and 10 years after introduction of screening.

Strategy (<25 years old) Reduction in population prevalence Total screens in 10 years
1 year 5 years 10 years
Strategy 1 (women, annual) 23% 57% 70% 34 678
Strategy 2 (women, annual + partner change) 28% 69% 84% 63 669
Strategy 3 (women + men annual) 40% 79% 89% 69 444
Strategy 2b 28% 70% 83% 63 476
Strategy 2c 28% 69% 82% 63 501
Strategy 2d 21% 57% 71% 60 525
Sensitivity analyses (strategy 3 as baseline)
10% acceptance women, 1.4% in men 9% 23% 29% 12 786
10% acceptance 12% 38% 50% 21 976
30% acceptance 29% 68% 82% 51 058
70% acceptance 46% 83% 91% 81 925
50% PN when screening starts 50% 86% 93% 69 347
Non‐equitable coverage 29% 64% 77% 47 219
Screening accepted only once 38% 55% 58% 24 419

Strategies 1–3 have effective partner notification  =  20%, acceptance  =  50% and no variation in coverage (all attend, all offered screen, 50% accept).

PN, partner notification.
