First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tests a new way to find people with undiagnosed HIV in South Africa. Instead of only asking people to bring in their sexual partners, the program asks people who just learned they have HIV to invite anyone they know who might benefit from testing. The goal is to reach more men and others who avoid testing due to stigma. About 2,480 people from 32 clinics will take part, and researchers will compare results to standard testing methods.
