Table 5. Impact of providing HIV self-test kits on testing coverage and frequency among sexual partners of MSM participants during 12 months of follow-up.
| Total (n = 207*) | Intervention (n = 105) | Control (n = 102) | OR (95% CI) | Adjusted OR (95% CI) | SMD (95% CI) | Z or t | P | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency of HIV tests among sexual partners of each MSM participant (mean, SD) | 2.00 (2.20) | 2.65 (2.45) | 1.31 (1.65) | - | - | 0.64 (0.36–0.92) | −4.54 | <0.001 |
| ≥ 1 test (n, %) | 145 (67.1) | 87 (79.1) | 58 (54.8) | 3.13 (1.72–5.69) | 4.02 (2.05–7.86)* | - | - | <0.001 |
| ≥ 2 tests (n, %) | 104 (48.1) | 65 (59.1) | 39 (36.8) | 2.48 (1.44–4.29) | 2.85 (1.57–5.18)* | - | - | <0.001 |
| Frequency of HIVST (mean, SD) | 0.89 (1.49) | 1.41 (1.74) | 0.36 (0.90) | - | - | 0.75 (0.47–1.04) | −5.99 | <0.001 |
| Frequency of SBHT (mean, SD) | 1.10 (1.25) | 1.24 (1.31) | 0.96 (1.16) | - | - | 0.23 (−0.05 to 0.50) | −1.56 | 0.055 |
*Adjusted OR: Adjusted for subgroup, age, ethnicity, residence, cohabitation, duration of living in a study city, education level, sexual orientation, marital status, occupation, and monthly income.
CI, confidence interval; HIVST, HIV self-testing; MSM, men who have sex with men; OR, odds ratio; SBHT, site-based HIV testing; SD, standard deviation; SMD, standardized mean difference.
Note: Nine MSM participants did not have sexual partners during 12 months of follow-up.
