Changes in Sexual Risk-taking Behaviours Among Men After Participating in the PEST4MEN HIV Self-Testing Intervention in Two Fishing Communities in Central Uganda

The proportion of men reporting multiple sexual partnerships reduced significantly between the two study visits. However, this reduction was not observed in the other sexual risk behaviours. These findings suggest a need for integrating sexual risk-reduction messages into HIVST interventions in order to reduce sexual risk-taking behaviors among potential users of HIV self-test kits.

Abstract

The proportion of men reporting multiple sexual partnerships reduced significantly between the two study visits. However, this reduction was not observed in the other sexual risk behaviours. These findings suggest a need for integrating sexual risk-reduction messages into HIVST interventions in order to reduce sexual risk-taking behaviors among potential users of HIV self-test kits.
