Sexual Health Testing Experience & Awareness Survey
Measures how people access, experience, and think about STI/STD testing services — testing frequency, comfort with providers, and the practical or emotional barriers that keep people from testing regularly. Built for sexual health clinics and public health teams, with an AI follow-up that digs into the real reasons behind gaps in testing behavior.

How comfortable do you feel discussing STI testing and sexual health with a healthcare provider?
How much does each of the following get in the way of you getting tested when you think you should?

If you've been tested before, how would you rate your most recent testing experience overall?
What would most encourage you to get tested more regularly (select all that apply)?
- Lower cost or free testing
- More privacy or anonymous options

Reconstruct the respondent's actual decision-making around their most recent testing experience (or lack of one): what prompted them to consider testing, what almost stopped them, and what specifically made it easy or hard. If they selected 'Never' been tested, gently probe what would need to change — cost, privacy, stigma, or access — for them to seriously consider it, without being judgmental. If they rated a barrier as 'major', ask for a concrete recent example of that barrier in action.
How likely are you to recommend the testing service or provider you used to a friend?
What is your age range?
- Under 18
- 18-24
- 25-34
- 35-44
- 45-54
- 55+
- Prefer not to say
How do you describe your gender identity?
- Woman
- Man
- Non-binary
- Prefer not to say
How do you describe your sexual orientation?

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the respondent's actual decision-making around their most recent testing experience, surfacing real reasons behind testing gaps that fixed-choice questions can't capture.
- Pairs a matrix question quantifying specific barriers (cost, embarrassment, access, etc.) with opinion-scale items on comfort discussing testing with providers and likelihood to recommend the service.
- Covers testing frequency, where people have been tested, and a rating of their most recent experience, plus age, gender identity, and sexual orientation breakouts for segmentation by clinics and public health teams.
- Automated per-response quality scoring and auto-generated reports turn open-ended answers (including from an optional voice AI interview) into analyzable output without manual coding.
QuestionPro
Sexually transmitted disease survey questions + sample questionnaire templateThis page presents sample STD survey questions and a questionnaire template, functioning more like a question-bank/guide than a ready-to-field survey bundled with reporting. It covers standard topics (testing history, knowledge, attitudes) using conventional question types, aimed at researchers building their own instrument.
What it does well
- Broad sample question bank covering STD knowledge and testing topics
- Backed by an established, well-known survey platform
- Customizable questionnaire structure researchers can adapt
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up to probe why respondents skip or delay testing — relies on static fixed-choice and scaled questions
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated report output evident on the page
- No transparent, published interview prompt methodology
Jotform
Sexually Transmitted Infection Report Form TemplateThis is a report/documentation form for recording STI cases, not a survey measuring testing experience, comfort, or barriers — a different use case (clinical/administrative reporting vs. attitudinal research). It's a static form builder template with no interview-style questioning or behavioral/attitude scales.
What it does well
- Simple, quick-to-deploy form builder for capturing structured STI case data
- Familiar drag-and-drop customization within the Jotform ecosystem
Where it falls short
- Not designed to measure testing frequency, comfort, or barriers — serves a reporting purpose rather than survey research
- No adaptive AI follow-up or voice interview capability
- No automated quality scoring or auto-generated analytical reports
