The intervention is based on respondent-driven sampling approach. Each selected seed from hotspots and on social networks is provided with two types of coupons for HIVST kit at partner pharmacy: electronic coupons (e-coupons) consisting of a pictured unique anonymous QR code and identifier and the address of pharmacies; paper coupons consisting of similar information to e-coupon. The seeds will then distribute coupons to their networks physically, via social media, and smart phone applications. Each recruited participant will bring the coupon to be scanned at the pharmacies to receive a free access HIVST kit. There, trained community worker will do the study visit including information/consent, e-CRF filling and providing link to send the test results. These recruited individuals will be considered as wave 1 and will each receive 10 additional coupons to recruit new members in the networks. The next round of individuals recruited and enrolled will be considered as wave 2, and so on.
