abstract: 'Objectives The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and exacerbated existing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
socioeconomic and health disparities, including disparities in sexual
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health and well-being. While there have been several reviews published
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on COVID-19 and population health disparities generally-including some
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with attention to HIV-none has focused on sexual health (ie, STI care,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
female sexual health, sexual behaviour). We have conducted a scoping
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
review focused on sexual health (excluding reproductive health (RH),
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
intimate partner violence (IPV) and gender-based violence (GBV)) in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
COVID-19 era, examining sexual behaviours and sexual health outcomes.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods A scoping review, compiling both peer-reviewed and grey
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
literature, focused on sexual health (excluding RH, IPV and GBV) and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
COVID-19 was conducted on 15 September 2020. Multiple bibliographical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
databases were searched. Study selection conformed to Joanna Briggs

Reviews. We only included English-language original studies. Results We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
found that men who have sex with men may be moving back toward
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pre-pandemic levels of sexual activity, and that STI and HIV testing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rates seem to have decreased. There was minimal focus on outcomes such
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as the economic impact on sexual health (excluding RH, IPV and GBV) and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
STI care, especially STI care of marginalised populations. In terms of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
population groups, there was limited focus on sex workers or on women,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
especially women''s sexual behaviour and mental health. We noticed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
limited use of qualitative techniques. Very few studies were in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low/middle-income countries (LMICs). Conclusions Sexual health research
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is critical during a global infectious disease pandemic and our review
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of studies suggested notable research gaps. Researchers can focus
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
efforts on LMICs and under-researched topics within sexual health and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explore the use of qualitative techniques and interventions where
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate.'
