Social response to the delivery of HIV self-testing in households: experiences from four Zambian HPTN 071 (PopART) urban communities.

CONCLUSION: Door-to-door distribution of HIVST as a choice for how to HIV test is appreciated at community level and provides an important testing option in the sub-Saharan context. However, it should be accompanied by counselling to manage social harms and by supporting those testing HIV-positive to link to care.
