ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
We estimate the proportion of participants willing to pay the US price (30) or 20 for an HIV self-test and analyse their associated factors.METHODS:
In a street-based testing program, 497 participants in a feasibility self-test study answered the question, "What would be the maximum price you would be willing to pay for a similar test to this one so you can use it at your convenience?"RESULTS:
Only 17.9% would pay ≥30, while 40.0%, ≥20. In the logistic regression, paying more was associated with being tested outside the campuses and having paid or been paid for sex.CONCLUSION:
In Spain, self-testing would not have an impact unless it became more affordable to potential users.Palavras-chave
