Linkages to HIV confirmatory testing and antiretroviral therapy after online, supervised, HIV self-testing among Thai men who have sex with men and transgender women.

CONCLUSIONS: Online, supervised, HIV self-testing allowed more MSM and TGW to know their HIV status. However, linkages to confirmatory test and ART initiation once tested HIV-reactive are key challenges. Alternative options to bring HIV test confirmation, prevention and ART services to these individuals after HIV self-testing are needed. PMID: 31960589 [PubMed - in process]
