HIV Self Testing of Male Partners of Women in PMTCT

Women who are randomized to the HIVST arm will be trained in the use and interpretation of HIVST, and given two oral fluid-based HIVST kits to use with or give to their partners, along with information about HIV testing and prevention and care services. We will offer men confirmatory testing regardless of their HIV test result through HIVST, counseling, and if negative, PrEP and if positive, ART.

In the standard of care arm, we will give women invitation letters to deliver to their male partners to come to the ANC clinic for fast-tracked HIV testing. We will offer men counseling and if negative, PrEP and if positive, ART.
