Comparison of community-led distribution of HIV self-tests kits with distribution by paid distributors: a cluster randomised trial in rural Zimbabwean communities.

That the subgroup analysis showed a trend towards better linkage to post-test services in men is encouraging and suggests that this could be taken forward to optimise care in this group, whose uptake of HIV services has been known to be suboptimal. 29 Contrary to findings from our previous studies in Malawi and Zimbabwe, 10 we did not show a significant difference in ART initiation rates at health facilities whose catchment areas had community-based HIVST, when compared with those where no HIVST was distributed.
