Feasibility of supervised self‐testing using an oral fluid‐based HIV rapid testing method: a cross‐sectional, mixed method study among pregnant women in rural India

Abstract

Self-testing for HIV status using an oral fluid-based rapid test under the supervision of a community health worker was acceptable and feasible among pregnant women in rural India. Participants were supportive of making self-testing publicly available. Policy guidelines and implementation research are required to advance HIV self-testing for larger populations at scale.
