Article Synopsis
- The study explored the perspectives of young people and healthcare workers in Botswana regarding dual self-testing for HIV and STIs, with a focus on its acceptability and perceived benefits and drawbacks.
- In-depth interviews with 25 young individuals and 6 healthcare workers revealed that while most young people were keen on self-testing, they faced anxiety surrounding the process and preferred professional assistance for testing.
- The research concluded that although dual self-testing could empower young people regarding their sexual health, adequate pre- and post-test counseling and support systems must be implemented to effectively address mental health concerns and ensure successful care follow-up.
