Abstract

HIV self-testing (HIVST) enables novel strategies, but needs new approaches to maximise linkage to care. We investigated: 1) whether financial incentives for community-selected volunteers (CVs) who distributed HIVST-kits improved timely linkage, and 2) if community-based HIVST increased facility-based ART initiation.
