Article Synopsis
- Key populations (KPs) in Vietnam face challenges accessing HIV services, prompting a study to evaluate the reach and effectiveness of a web-based HIV self-testing (HIVST) intervention.
- A mixed-methods approach was used, analyzing data from pilot and scale-up phases to measure participant demographics, test ordering, reporting of results, and usage of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
- The intervention reached 17,589 participants, mainly young males; however, reported test results decreased during the scale-up phase, though the proportion of females participating increased significantly.
