Barriers to engagement with testing for sexually transmitted infections within a UK-based young adult Black Caribbean community: a qualitative study

This study explored barriers to engagement with STI testing within a UK-based young adult Black Caribbean community. Engagement with STI testing in young adults from the Black Caribbean community is impacted by historically and culturally embedded practices and beliefs inherited through generations. Targeting these factors within interventions may be effective for increasing STI-testing, and thus reducing rates of STI-infection in this population.
