Descrição detalhada
This study will recruit HIV-negative adolescents girls (AG) aged 15-19 years in Siaya County, western Kenya. The study will evaluate the impact of the provision of oral HIV self-testing on uptake of testing among partners of adolescent girls. We will randomize about 300 sexually active AG to either an intervention group that receives multiple oral self-test kits that they can choose to offer to their sexual partner(s) or to a control group that will be given multiple referral coupons that their partners can use for HIV testing at pre-selected HIV testing services (HTS) sites. We will collect data on whether the kits were offered, to whom they were offered, if they were accepted, if they were used and with what results, if known, and if the partners who obtained HIV-positive results sought confirmatory testing. We will also conduct in-depth interviews with a sub-set adolescents to explore their experiences in offering HIV self-testing to their male partners.
This study has 4 specific aims: i) determine whether adolescent girls can safely offer oral HIV self-tests to their partners; ii) assess whether oral self-testing improves uptake of HIV testing among partners of adolescent girls; iii) document adverse events associated with offering oral self-testing to sexual partners of adolescent girls; and iv) qualitatively explore the experiences of adolescent girls when offering self-test kits to their partners.

---|---|
Experimental: Provision of multiple self-tests
Participants randomized to the intervention group will be given 2-3 HIV oral self-tests to offer to their sexual partner(s).
The participant will be instructed to encourage their partner to test himself alone [partner testing] or with the participant [couple testing]; the partner will also be given a card with information on testing and a list of facilities where he can go for confirmatory testing.
All participants will be encouraged to call a study helpline/hotline in the event of any adverse events that they or their sexual partners experience or if they need further instructions or information
|
Participants will be given multiple Oraquick Advance HIV-1/2 test kits to distribute to their sexual partners for partner testing or couple testing.
Phone interviews will be conducted with the participants to assess whether they provided a HIV self-test to their partner, if the test was used, how it was used (partner testing or couple testing), if the partner disclosed his results, the partner's reaction to the results, and if the partner went for confirmatory testing
|
Sem intervenção: Referral vouchers for clinic testing
Participants randomized to the control group will be given multiple referral coupons for HIV testing at pre-selected HIV testing services (HTS) sites.
The participant will be instructed to give the coupon to their sexual partner(s) and encourage him to go for HIV testing at pre-selected HTS sites, either alone [partner testing] or together with the participant [couple testing].
The coupon will also have information on testing and a list of facilities where he can go for HTS.
All participants will be encouraged to call a study helpline/hotline in the event of any adverse events that they or their sexual partners experience or if they need further instructions or information
