Article Synopsis
- The study examines factors influencing HIV self-testing (HIVST) uptake among adolescent men who have sex with men (AMSM) and adolescent transgender women (ATGW) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Findings show a decrease in HIVST uptake from 44.9% pre-pandemic to 35.5% during the pandemic, with specific sexual behaviors affecting these rates differently in each period.
- The research suggests that HIV programs should adjust their service delivery models to better address the changing needs of adolescents and young people to improve testing rates and reach individuals who are undiagnosed.
