HIV Self-Testing Strategic Framework: A Guide for Planning, Introducing, and Scaling Up

This framework is intended to be a brief guide for countries and implementers that are planning, starting or scaling up HIVST implementation. It provides key considerations for: 1) preparing for HIVST; 2) implementing HIVST; 3) monitoring and optimizing HIVST implementation.

When planning and implementing in the real world, many of the steps detailed in this framework may occur concurrently or in a different order. Therefore, it is recommended that this framework be used flexibly and adapted according to specific contexts and epidemics.
