Brief Summary:
This study seeks to determine whether workplace delivery of HIV self-testing will lead to an increase in uptake of HIV testing and subsequent linkage to care or prevention services among men in Uganda.
Detailed Description:
The current coverage of HIV testing and counseling in Uganda is 60% with only 34% of these being men and only about 55% of males living with HIV know their status (MoH, 2016). The challenges with HIV testing require a new focus and new approaches to reach people with undiagnosed HIV infection.
HIV self-testing (HIVST) is one such innovative approach to making testing more accessible to several under-served populations such as men and key populations (WHO, 2013).
In this regard, this study seeks to determine whether providing HIVST in workplace settings will increase the uptake of HIV testing services among men employed in private security services in Uganda and improve linkage to treatment and prevention services.
Design: Cluster randomized trial in two Ugandan districts
Participants: Male employees of private security companies
