Abstract

An online assessment among social media-using young men who have sex with men found that 87% were willing to use HIV self-testing with online supervision. Correlates included never tested, having higher numbers of sexual partners, and seeking partners online. HIV self-testing with online supervision may be appropriate for young men who have sex with men who have high risks and may not access venue-based settings.
