Implementation of Rapid HIV Self-Testing Among MSM Project

Participants randomly assigned to the Know@Home arm will access the features of Know@Home by downloading the app or accessing the website. The contents were developed to serve as a comprehensive mobile HIV prevention platform for MSM or TGW, with HIV prevention and care information and links to resources. This intervention arm provides an toolkit that allows users to access information about prevention services as their needs change. Participants will have access to Know@Home for the study period. The Know@Home arm will offer participants the opportunity to order free condoms and lubricant as well as an at-home sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing kit.

All participants will be shipped two at-home HIV self-tests. They will also receive a link to a previously-produced video that fully describes the specimen collection process, pointing out common errors and providing tips for successful collection. Participants will interact with study staff through phone, email, or text. Information to schedule a video HIV testing and counseling session with study staff will be made available to participants in all arms via a website, email, and/or text.
