Exploring HIV self-testing and implementation determinants among migrants: perspectives from West, East, Central, and Southern African migrants and key informants in the Netherlands

Although HIVST can address key testing barriers among African migrants, targeted implementation strategies are needed to guarantee equitable access, proper use, and optimal outcomes. These include enhanced dissemination of HIVST information, normalization of HIV testing and self-testing, provision of person-centered support, and establishing clear pathways for timely care linkage when required.

Abstract

Although HIVST can address key testing barriers among African migrants, targeted implementation strategies are needed to guarantee equitable access, proper use, and optimal outcomes. These include enhanced dissemination of HIVST information, normalization of HIV testing and self-testing, provision of person-centered support, and establishing clear pathways for timely care linkage when required.
