Private-sector Access to Testing for Health Sustainability

Expanding Access to HIV Self-test Kits: Sustaining Private Sector Channels That Enable Access to Preventive Health Services

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

New and innovative strategies are urgently needed to increase the uptake of HIV prevention and sexual and reproductive health services among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in sub-Saharan Africa. To ensure the real-world sustainability of free distribution of HIV self-test kits to AGYW by private drug shops and pharmacies, investigators will rigorously test supply-side subsidy structures for shopkeepers' provision of HIV-self test kits to AGYW combined with prosocial motivational supports. The combination of non-monetary and monetary support structures aims to emulate real-world health financing models for public-private partnerships and ultimately aims to improve equity in access to critical prevention services for AGYW at scale.
