We evaluated performance, accuracy, and acceptability parameters of unsupervised oral fluid (OF) HIV self-testing (HIVST) in a general population in western Kenya. In a prospective validation design, we enrolled 240 adults to perform rapid OF HIVST and compared results to staff administered OF and rapid fingerstick tests. All reactive, discrepant, and a proportion of negative results were confirmed with lab ELISA. Twenty participants were video-recorded conducting self-testing. All participants completed a staff administered survey before and after HIVST to assess attitudes towards OF HIVST acceptability. HIV prevalence was 14.6 %. Thirty-six of the 239 HIVSTs were invalid (15.1 %; 95 % CI 11.1-20.1 %), with males twice as likely to have invalid results as females. HIVST sensitivity was 89.7 % (95 % CI 73-98 %) and specificity was 98 % (95 % CI 89-99 %). Although sensitivity was somewhat lower than expected, there is clear interest in, and high acceptability (94 %) of OF HIV self-testing.
我们评估了肯尼亚西部普通人群中无监督口服液体(OF)HIV自我检测(HIVST)的性能、准确性和可接受性参数。在一项前瞻性验证设计中,我们招募了240名成年人进行快速OF HIVST,并将结果与工作人员进行的OF和快速指尖检测结果进行比较。所有反应性、不一致性和一部分阴性结果均通过实验室ELISA进行确认。对20名参与者进行了自我检测的视频记录。所有参与者在HIVST前后都完成了工作人员进行的调查,以评估对OF HIVST可接受性的态度。HIV流行率为14.6%。239次HIVST中有36次无效(15.1%;95%CI 11.1 - 20.1%),男性出现无效结果的可能性是女性的两倍。HIVST的敏感性为89.7%(95%CI 73 - 98%),特异性为98%(95%CI 89 - 99%)。尽管敏感性略低于预期,但人们对OF HIV自我检测有明显兴趣,且接受度较高(94%)。
