Who are the missing men? Characterising men who never tested for HIV from population-based surveys in six sub-Saharan African countries.

CONCLUSIONS: Although higher proportions of men than women had never tested for HIV, 85% to 99% of men did accept a test when offered. Finding opportunities to offer HIV testing to single men without children, older men who have never tested, and those disadvantaged with less schooling and employment, alongside other facility and community-based services, will be important in identifying those living with undiagnosed HIV and improving men's health.
