Number of Healthcare Providers Describing Feasibility of Intervention Via In-depth Interviews (Qualitative) Secondary · 6 months after the start of enrollment

To gain deeper insights about the feasibility of male partner HIV testing strategies, healthcare workers from the study site were asked to participate in in-depth interviews. Participating healthcare workers were involved in different aspects of male partner HIV testing and included study staff members. Feasibility was defined as a positive rating about the intervention's potential performance in real-life conditions at the clinic and community levels.

Number of Participants Describing Acceptability of Intervention Via In-depth Interviews (Qualitative) Secondary · In the first two months of enrollment

To gain deeper insights about the acceptability of the different male partner HIV testing strategies, subsamples of participants were selected based on study arm (intervention vs. control) and woman's HIV status (positive vs. negative). For the outcome measure, acceptability was defined as a positive rating of male partner HIV testing strategies from participants based on their experiences.

Sponsor's own description

The overall objective of this study is to evaluate whether the addition of secondary distribution HIV self-test kits to existing partner notification guidelines increases the proportion of male partners who access facility-based HIV testing services, when compared to the partner notification strategy alone
