Implication

Systematic review finds that tailored interventions can enhance HIV testing uptake among MSM, highlighting stigma and discrimination as major barriers.

Key Points

Effective interventions improved HIV testing uptake among MSM, yet barriers like stigma and discrimination remain substantial.
The review included 23 studies from a pool of 4,248 records, focusing on MSM aged 18 and above in SSA.
Guided by PRISMA guidelines, comprehensive database searches identified innovative strategies for HIV testing.
Addressing persistent barriers is vital for the success and sustainability of HIV testing interventions among MSM.
