^aMissing responses were not included in the table, 27/131 (20.6%) of respondents had missing responses to the question on forced testing and 27/31 (20.6%) had missing responses to the question on whether they had been forced to disclose their test results. There was no missing data for the other covariates and no invalid or uncertain HIVST test results reported
