This study investigated the experiences of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) conducting HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) self-testing procedures. We analyzed mixed-methods data from 11 GBM who self-tested HIV-positive and 1,070 HIV-negative GBM who completed the HIV self-testing and STI self-sampling procedures. Nearly all (99%) reported ease in urine-based STI self-sampling and most (90%) found rectal swab self-collection easy. Most (94%) checked their rapid-HIV self-testing results during the correct window (20-40 minutes), and nearly all (99%) trusted their HIV results. Recommendations for future self-testing procedures are provided based on findings from free-response data.
本研究调查了男同性恋者、双性恋者及其他与男性发生性行为者(GBM)进行艾滋病毒和性传播感染(STI)自我检测程序的经历。我们分析了来自11名艾滋病毒自我检测呈阳性的GBM以及1070名完成艾滋病毒自我检测和性传播感染自我采样程序的艾滋病毒阴性GBM的混合方法数据。几乎所有人(99%)报告称基于尿液的性传播感染自我采样操作简便,大多数人(90%)认为直肠拭子自我采集容易。大多数人(94%)在正确的时间窗口(20 - 40分钟)内查看了他们的快速艾滋病毒自我检测结果,几乎所有人(99%)都信任他们的艾滋病毒检测结果。根据自由回答数据的结果,为未来的自我检测程序提供了建议。
