Facilitating Routine HIV Testing Among MSM by a Subscription-based Self-test Distribution Model

The goal of this stepped wedge trial is to assess if a subscription-based HIV self-test distribution model could facilitate routine HIV testing in the men who have sex with men community. The main questions it aims to answer are the effectiveness of the model in enhancing routine HIV testing and its acceptability in the community. The 1-year observation period would be divided into control and intervention period. Participants will be reminded to get HIV tested via instant messaging apps or short message service during the control period. During the intervention period, the researchers will deliver an HIV self-test to the participants. Researchers will compare the testing rate between the two periods to see if the intervention can facilitate HIV testing.
