RESUMEN
RESUMEN: Se necesitan nuevas estrategias para prevenir la transmisión del VIH e incrementar el testeo para aquellos con mayor riesgo al contagio. Como parte de un ensayo controlado aleatorio (ECA) multicentrico, exploramos las actitudes y preferencias entre 272 hombres VIH-negativos que tienen sexo con hombres y mujeres transgenero VIH-negativos que utilizaron kits del auto-test para el VIH (HIVST) para testear a sus parejas. Menos de una cuarta parte de los participantes había utilizado HIVST para auto-testearse (21.7%), y solo pocos para testear a sus parejas (4.8%) antes del comienzo del estudio. El hisopo bucal fue preferido (96%) sobre una prueba con un pinchazo de sangre (69%) por la mayoría de los participantes pero estos preferirían la prueba de sangre si puedieran obtener resultados para otras enfermedades de transmisión sexual (ETS) (86%). Cinco por ciento reportó problemas con el uso de la prueba, 4% con el almacenamiento, y el 26% con la portabilidad. Noventa y tres por ciento reportó que utilizarían HIVST para testear a sus parejas en el futuro, pero solo 3% estaba dispuesto a pagar el precio actual. Los futuros esfuerzos para mejorar la adopción del HIVST deberían enfocarse en incorporar otras pruebas de ETS, en reducir el tamaño del kit y en reducir los costos.
