WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) self-testing serves as a crucial strategy for overcoming testing barriers, with urine-based self-testing emerging as a potential novel approach.
WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: In a real-world setting, this study demonstrated that the urine rapid test exhibited lower diagnostic accuracy compared to the blood rapid test. Study participants expressed stronger preferences for HIV self-testing methods utilizing finger prick samples, accompanied by standard written instructions and lower costs.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: Our findings indicate that rapid urine testing requires additional validation before widespread implementation. Future development efforts should prioritize user-friendly HIV self-testing approaches to enhance testing accessibility.
关于该主题已知的信息有哪些?:人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)自我检测是克服检测障碍的关键策略,基于尿液的自我检测正成为一种潜在的新方法。
本报告补充了哪些内容?:在实际环境中,本研究表明,与血液快速检测相比,尿液快速检测的诊断准确性较低。研究参与者对使用手指刺血样本、附带标准书面说明且成本较低的HIV自我检测方法表现出更强的偏好。
对公共卫生实践有何影响?:我们的研究结果表明,在广泛实施之前,快速尿液检测需要进一步验证。未来的发展努力应优先考虑用户友好的HIV自我检测方法,以提高检测的可及性。
