Low acceptance of intimate partner violence by pregnant women in Uganda predicts higher uptake of HIV self-testing among their male partners

However, it is not well known how gender equality is associated with HST. Methods : We used intervention-arm data from a cluster-randomised controlled HST intervention trial ( N = 1 618) conducted in Uganda to determine the association between attitudes towar…
HIV testing preferences among pregnant women attending antenatal care and their male partners

Antenatal care is an effective entry-point for the delivery of HIV testing services for women, and partner testing presents an important opportunity to reach thei…
Gender Disparities in Receipt of HIV Testing Results in Six Sub-Saharan African Countries

METHODS: This was a qualitative study implemented as part of a pilot, cluster-randomized oral HIVST intervention trial among 1,514 pregnant women attending antenatal care services at three healt…
