Supervised Oral HIV Self-Testing is Accurate in Rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Abstract
To achieve UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets, alternatives to conventional HIV testing models are necessary in South Africa to increase population awareness of their HIV status. One of the alternatives is oral mucosal transudates-based HIV self-testing (OralST). This study describes implementation of counsellor-introduced supervised OralST in a high HIV prevalent rural area.Publisher
