Preference and ability to perform blood-versus oral-fluid-based HIV self-testing in adolescents and young adults in Bangkok.

Adolescents and young adults (AYA) have limited access to HIV screening tests despite the risk of acquiring HIV infection. This study aims to understand AYA preferences and their ability to perform HIV self-tests (HIVST). A cross-sectional study looked at AYA preferences when offered a choice between blood-based (INSTI) and oral fluid-based (OraQuick) HIVST.
