Interventions

  • Mail delivery of at-home self-administered HIV tests — DIAGNOSTIC_TEST
    Investigators will mail participants an OraSure HIV-1 Oral Specimen Collection Device. The kit will include a self-addressed and stamped envelope with the collection device. Participants will follow enclosed directions to collect oral-fluid samples and mail them to the study laboratory for analysis. Envelopes and samples will only be marked with a bar code and not with any other personal identifiers (e.g., name or address).

Study Details

The study will use social media to recruit a diverse sample of people who self-report injecting drugs, assessing the feasibility of online assessments and participants' ability to perform at-home self-administered HIV testing. Participants will complete online questionnaires at baseline and will be mailed HIV testing kits that they will self-administer and mail to a central laboratory. Investigators will track completion of questionnaires and whether at-home self-administered HIV tests were completed and sent to the laboratory.
