A workplace-based HIV self-testing intervention as a determinant for self-testing knowledge, beliefs, and use among unskilled workers in Wakiso Uganda

Efforts should be directed toward advocating for frequent knowledge sharing about self-testing such as this study has provided among unskilled working populations in Uganda. Organizations, alongside HIV testing implementing partners, should awaken people operating in risky environments and those engaging in risky sexual acts on the threat of succumbing to HIV as this greatly increases HIVST and repeat testing.

Abstract

Efforts should be directed toward advocating for frequent knowledge sharing about self-testing such as this study has provided among unskilled working populations in Uganda. Organizations, alongside HIV testing implementing partners, should awaken people operating in risky environments and those engaging in risky sexual acts on the threat of succumbing to HIV as this greatly increases HIVST and repeat testing.
