HIV Self-testing for Partners of HIV-uninfected Postpartum Women

"For female participants, the intervention includes a 30-45 minute counseling session that will cover (1) SOC PrEP information, (2) communications skills training for HIVST kit distribution, (3) Motivational interviewing strategies (e.g., PrEP/HIVST pros/cons), (4) problem-solving barriers to PrEP uptake or HIVST distribution, (5) linkage enablers (e.g., care sites, transportation, asking questions of providers). For their male partners, an informative video will cover geographically diverse HIV treatment resources, as well as on why linkage to HIV care is needed in the context of the relationship with his female partner and gender norms. The video will also demonstrate a brief motivational exercise whereby men are asked to consider the pros and cons of linking to HIV care versus not (with examples), as well as a step-by-step guide to generate a concrete plan for linkage to care based on linkage enablers."
