Male peer engagement
Male partners of women randomized to the intervention arm will receive a phone call from the male peer to encourage them to test for HIV at the clinic. Male peer fathers will offer to meet men at the clinic and guide them through the process of HIV testing. Men who are not willing/able to attend the clinic for HIV testing will be offered testing in a private and confidential location in the community; the peer male counselor meet men and offer to assist them through the process of using and interpreting an oral HIVST. Men who are not interested in testing with the peer father will be offered the HIVST kit to take home. Peer fathers will obtain men's consent to participate in the study.
