A qualitative study on oral-fluid-based HIV self-testing experiences among men in Kigali, Rwanda.

Introduction: there has been a global call to engage men in the fight against the HIV epidemic. Poor uptake of HIV testing services among men has been reported in most of sub-Saharan Africa where the HIV epidemic continues to be a major public health problem. HIV self-testing (HIVST) has potential to bridge the gap; however, there is a paucity of research evidence on oral-fluid-based HIVST experiences among men in Rwanda.
