Measure
In Clinic Observation-Both
10 young women and 10 young men were assigned and conducted BOTH of the HIV self-tests. Participants tried two different self-testing kits, one that is oral fluid based (saliva), Oraquick HIV Self Test, and one that is blood based via a finger prick, Atomo HIV Self Test. Oraquick HIV Self Test and Atomo HIV Self Test - Both Oraquick HIV Self Test and Atomo HIV Self Test - Both: This is an oral swab in home HIV test and this is a blood finger prick in home HIV test.
Focus Group Discussions
Focus group discussions (FGD) with young women (n=2 FGDs) and young men (n=2 FGDs) in the study area to determine the best way to offer self-testing to study participants.
In Clinic Observation-Subject Choice
20 young women and 20 young men were assigned and conducted EITHER of the HIV self-tests. Investigators asked them to choose which test they would prefer to use, one that is oral fluid based (saliva), Oraquick HIV Self Test, or one that requires the use blood via a finger prick, Atomo HIV Self Test. Oraquick HIV Self Test - Choice; Atomo HIV Self Test - choice Oraquick HIV Self Test - Choice: This is an oral swab in home HIV test. Atomo HIV Self Test - Choice: This is a blood finger prick in home HIV test.
