Peer-led HIV self-testing to improve HIV testing and linkage to HIV care among men in two fishing communities in rural Uganda: a pilot intervention (PEST4MEN)
REFNo: HS2034ES

1. Assess uptake of HIV testing and determine the factors associated with HIV testing uptake among men reached through peer-led HIV self-testing 2. Determine the proportion of HIV-positive men who link to HIV care and the factors associated with linkage to HIV care after peer-led HIV self-testing 3. Assess negative outcomes of peer-led HIV self-testing (e.g. intimate partner violence, marital disruption, suicidal ideations) and document the existing supporting mechanisms in the community 4. Explore the barriers to and facilitators of linkage to and retention in HIV care following peer-led HIV self-testing within a fishing community setting 5. Assess the potential for peer-led HIV self-testing as a novel strategy for reaching high-risk HIV-negative men in the fishing communities with appropriate HIV prevention services (including referral for medical male circumcision, condom promotion/supplies and PrEP)
