ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the acceptability of oral quick HIV self-testing in men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods: From April 2013 to April 2014, MSM in Beijing and Nanning of China were recruited for an observational study including baseline survey and follow-up, including questionnaire survey, oral HIV self-testing and clinic-based HIV confirmation testing. The sensitivity and specificity of oral quick self-testing were evaluated through comparing the results of oral quick testing with blood testing. The acceptability and associated factors were evaluated by logistic model. Results: A total of 510 MSM were recruited at baseline survey and 279 accepted follow-up. The sensitivity of the oral self-test was 86.00% (43/50) and specificity was 98.23% (445/453) at baseline survey. At baseline survey, 78.63% (401/510) of the MSM showed willingness to use oral quick HIV self-testing. The associated factors included unprotected anal intercourse with a regular male partner in the past 6 months (aOR=0.30, 95%CI: 0.10-1.00) and preference of oral quick HIV self-testing (aOR=7.32, 95%CI: 1.61- 33.31). At baseline survey, 34.51% (176/510) of the MSM reported that oral quick HIV self-testing was the preferred testing method rather than blood testing, which was associated with their birth places-urban area. Conclusion: The acceptability of oral quick HIV self- testing in MSM in the two cities was high.
