‘We are the eyes and ears of researchers and community’
Community engagement to protect and empower participating individuals and communities is an ethical requirement in research. There is however limited evidence on effectiveness or relevance of some of the approaches used to improve ethical practice.

This paper draws from this wider study and focuses on factors that shaped Community …
Discordance, Disclosure and Normative Gender Roles
A community-based HIV self-testing study in Blantyre, Malawi demonstrated that not all individuals living in couples tested with their partner.

In-depth interviews were conducted with 33 individuals living in couples who tested alone. Participants expressed fe…
Uptake, Accuracy, Safety, and Linkage into Care over Two Years of Promoting Annual Self-Testing for HIV in Blantyre, Malawi
BACKGROUND: Home-based HIV testing and counselling (HTC) achieves high uptake, but is difficult and expensive to implement and sustain.

The aim was to evaluate the uptake of testing, accuracy, linkage into care, and health outcomes when highly convenient and flexible but supported access to HIVST kits was provided to a well-defined and closely monitored population. METHODS AND…

This community-based category of individuals is recruited to facilitate externally driven priorities defined…
