Summary

The SIM study is a single-centre, randomized, controlled trial with a 12-month follow-up period. The aim is to determine which of the 3 methods of follow-up is the most effective in promoting patient treatment compliance. The recruitment of participants will be done by invitation, and tests will be performed in a mobile unit in locations accessible to large populations. The goal is to perform 10,000 quick tests, with results confirmed by venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) tests. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis according to VDRL test results will be randomized in one of three monitoring arms: follow-up by telephone, follow-up via a game in a smartphone app, or conventional follow-up by a health professional. All analyses will follow the intention-to-treat principle.
