First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how to keep HIV self-test kits available for adolescent girls and young women in sub-Saharan Africa. Researchers will test two subsidy levels (high and low) for shopkeepers, with decreasing support over time. The goal is to find a sustainable way for private drug shops to offer free kits, improving access to HIV prevention services.
