Official title
A Randomised Controlled Trial to Increase HIV Testing Demand Among Truck Drivers and Sex Workers Through Offering Self-Administered Oral HIV Testing at North Star Alliance Clinics in Kenya
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The study aimed to assess whether advertising the availability of self-administered oral HIV testing kits increases the number of truck drivers and female sex workers who come to the North Star Alliance clinics for HIV testing (Demand creation). The investigators sent text messages to eligible truck drivers and female sex workers registered in the North Star Alliance electronic health record system who, based on those records, were not accessing HIV testing regularly and randomized them to receive one of two messaged, (1) the standard message sent to all clients who have not tested for HIV in the past 3 months reminding them of the availability of HIV testing at North Star clinics or (2) a text message announcing the availability of HIV self-testing kits fat all North Star clinics in Kenya. The investigators then compared the number of truck drivers and female sex workers from our samples who came to the clinic for HIV testing over a 2 month period following the first text message in the two study arms.
