  • Planning and commitment prompts to encourage reporting of HIV self-test results

    Open AccessAlison M Buttenheim, Laura Schmucker et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Reporting of HIV self-test results to encourage linkage to HIV care for those who receive a positive test result is a common challenge faced by HIV self-testing programs. The impact of self-testing programs is diminished if individuals who obtain a self-test do not use the test or seek confirmatory testing and initiate HIV treatment following a positive result. We conducted a cluster randomized trial of two interventions designed to increase repo…

    Open AccessLucy W Ruderman, Perez Ochwal et al.ARTICLEGlobal Public Health2022

    Oral fluid-based HIV self-testing (HIVST) has emerged as a promising approach to increasing HIV testing coverage, particularly among high-risk populations. Understanding the experiences of women using self-tests and offering them to their sexual partners (secondary distribution) is crucial for determining the potential of HIVST. Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted among 32 women at high risk of HIV infection, including women who engage…

  • The Influence of Health Care Policies and Health Care System Distrust on Willingness to Undergo Genetic Testing

    Katrina Armstrong, Mary Putt et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2012References: 35

    PURPOSE: As the potential role of genetic testing in disease prevention and management grows, so does concern about differences in uptake of genetic testing across social and racial groups. Characteristics of how genetic tests are delivered may influence willingness to undergo testing and, if they affect population subgroups differently, alter disparities in testing. METHODS: Conjoint analysis study of the effect of 3 characteristics of genetic t…
