Online HIV Self-Testing boosts testing among At-Risk youth in vietnam
NCT ID NCT05797961
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether offering HIV self-testing with online supervision helps young men who have sex with men (MSM) in Ho Chi Minh City get tested more often. One hundred participants aged 16-29 either used the supervised self-test or answered a simple yes/no about past testing. The goal was to see if this approach increases testing rates and helps find new HIV cases earlier.
