Abstract：
:The objectives of the study were, 1. To ascertain if sexual health physicians and practitioners believe a question concerning a past history of non-consensual sex should be asked routinely and are asking it. 2. To identify whether sexual health services have established protocols to integrate this question into practice. 3. To identify the barriers to this becoming part of a routine sexual health history. A questionnaire covering demographics, protocols and practice around asking the question and reasons for not asking was sent to all (20) sexual health clinics in New Zealand and 7 sexual health clinics in Australia, inviting participation from all staff who took routine sexual health histories. Twenty-seven sexual health clinics participated with a total of 122 (69% response rate) questionnaires completed and returned. One hundred and thirteen (93%) participants believed it was a relevant question to ask. Seventy-eight (63%) said asking the question was encouraged, and routinely or mostly asked the question. Only 40 (33%) identified their workplace had a written policy and 52 (43%) had not received specific training in asking the question. The majority who asked routinely said their client never or rarely objected and that it did not often add significantly to the time. The main reasons for not asking were the belief it was nothing to do with the person's presenting complaint, concern the client would find it too disturbing, inadequate training, and lack of time. Sexual health clinics should develop protocols and guidelines and provide appropriate training to ensure that routine questioning about non-consenting sex is integrated into safe practice.
