Tóm tắt :

Background:HIV self-testing was introduced to enhance HIV testing uptake, especially among key populations. Despite the benefits, its use remains relatively low in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region.Aim:To assess the acceptability, usability and feasibility of HIV self-testing among key populations in Morocco.Methods:We assessed the usability and acceptability, as well as the feasibility of ordering online and picking up in pharmacies and of distribution by people living with HIV of an oral HIV self-testing kit among 3465 female sex workers, men having sex with men, and partners of newly diagnosed people living with HIV in Morocco. Data were collected using 4 questionnaires administered online anonymously and analysed using Stata version 14.0.Results:A total of 3465 individuals received the HIV self-testing kits, 54.4% male, 43.7% female and 1.9% transgender. High acceptability rates of 90.2%, 86.2% and 80.4% were reported among the female sex workers, men having sex with men, and partners of newly diagnosed people living with HIV, respectively. HIV positivity rates were 1.2% among the female sex workers and men having sex with men, and 4.3% among partners of people living with HIV. Between 44.0% and 73.4% of the participants had never been tested for HIV.Conclusion:Our findings highlight the value of extending HIV self-testing services to key populations in Morocco and possibly other countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
