Abstract

In a pilot study providing HIV self-testing to persons who use drugs (N = 40), we identified 3 new HIV cases when partnering with a community-based organization. Most (82%) participants were interested in preexposure prophylaxis. HIV self-testing could contribute to efforts to Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States.
