Abstract
Men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) are highly affected by HIV and need novel prevention strategies. Using HIV self-testing (HIVST) kits to screen sexual partners may represent a viable risk-reduction alternative; however, more research is needed on effective strategies for broaching HIVST with partners. In the ISUM study, 136 MSM and TGW were given ten HIVST kits for self- and partner-testing. After 3 months, they returned for a follow-up assessment; thirty participants were also selected for in-depth interviews about their experiences initiating HIVST with partners. Most found proposing HIVST to a diverse array of partners relatively easy. They employed strategies such as joint testing and integrating HIVST into larger discussions about protection and sexual health, with moderate success. Nonetheless, real or anticipated negative partner reactions were a significant barrier. Future research can inform best practices for safely and successfully broaching HIVST with sexual partners.
