Overcoming barriers in HIV testing: Impact and challenges of HIV self-testing in Brazil's high-risk populations
According to the results, HIVST has a lot of potential to increase diagnoses, but it also calls for coordinated interventions. To get beyond implementation obstacles and eventually lower HIV transmission, these programs must incorporate HIVST distribution with focused education, counseling, and a strong linkage-to-care. For comparable public health situations, like those in the Philippines, this strategy is quite pertinent.
