Résumé
Men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) are highly affected by HIV and need novel prevention strategies. Using HIV self-testing (HIVST) kits to screen sexual partners may represent a viable risk-reduction alternative; however, more research is needed on effective strategies for broaching HIVST with partners. In the ISUM study, 136 MSM and TGW were given ten HIVST kits for self- and partner-testing. After 3 months, they returned for a follow-up assessment; thirty participants were also selected for in-depth interviews about their experiences initiating HIVST with partners. Most found proposing HIVST to a diverse array of partners relatively easy. They employed strategies such as joint testing and integrating HIVST into larger discussions about protection and sexual health, with moderate success. Nonetheless, real or anticipated negative partner reactions were a significant barrier. Future research can inform best practices for safely and successfully broaching HIVST with sexual partners. Los hombres que tienen sexo con hombres (HSH) y las mujeres tránsgenero (MTG) están muy afectados por el VIH y necesitan estrategias innovadoras de prevención. El uso del autotest de VIH (HIVST) para testear a parejas sexuales podría ser una alternativa viable de reducir el riesgo; sin embargo, se necesitan más investigaciones sobre estrategias eficaces para abordar el tema de usar el HIVST con parejas. En el estudio ISUM, 136 HSH y MTG fueron provistos de diez HIVST para testear a sí mismo y a parejas. Después de tres meses, volvieron para una evaluación de seguimiento; treinta participantes también fueron seleccionados para una entrevista en profundidad sobres sus experiencias abordando el tema del uso del HIVST con parejas. La mayoría encontró que proponer HIVST a una gran variedad de parejas fue relativamente fácil. Emplearon estrategias como hacerse la prueba juntos y integrar HIVST en una conversación más amplia sobre la protección y la salud sexual, con leve éxito. No obstante, las reacciones negativas de parejas, ya sean reales o anticipadas, representaron una barrera importante. Las investigaciones futuras pueden informar las mejores prácticas para abordar el tema de HIVST con parejas sexuales de manera segura y exitosa.
