Summary

The investigators propose a study to design and test a brief intervention to increase uptake of consistent HIV self-testing among YBMSM using a novel and culturally-relevant "buddy system" approach. In the model, peer educators train pairs of YBMSM (or "buddies") to initiate self-testing and support each other in consistent self-testing (past 3 months) and sexual and AOD use risk reduction.

The specific aims of this developmental R01 study are:

1. To conduct qualitative formative research to adapt couples testing for self-testing with a buddy;
2. To assess the preliminary efficacy of the intervention to increase the proportion of YBMSM who self-test regularly over 12 months using a 2-arm randomized, controlled study design.
