Summary

This study is testing a web-based platform called Jom-TestPlus that lets transgender women in Malaysia order HIV self-test kits online and get real-time counseling. The goal is to help them quickly connect to HIV prevention or treatment services. Fifty participants will use the platform and report their testing and care linkage over six months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Online HIV self-testing with e-counseling and linkage to care
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a scalable way for transgender women to privately test for HIV and quickly connect to prevention or treatment services.
What could go wrong: This is a small early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on self-reporting and internet access, which could limit accuracy and reach.
