Description

Description of data capture The primary outcome of clinic attendance following HIV testing was measured by the male partner presenting to the clinic with a pre-allocated letter to seek HIV testing in the standard of care arm or to have their HIV self-test results confirmed by an HIV counsellor by returning a used test kit. The counsellor then recorded these events including referral to HIV treatment if confirmed HIV positive and the eventual initiation of ART or undergoing voluntary medical male circumcision if HIV negative and uncircumcised. At baseline, women who were eligible gave consent and gave information about themselves and their male partners. During the woman’s next antenatal care visit (within 28 days of enrolment), the woman was interviewed through audio computer assisted self-interview (ACASI) to capture any adverse events and outcomes related to the male partner including if the partner had tested for HIV since enrollment. Male partners who tested and presented to the clinic completed a personal data capture while receiving HIV services including testing, starting treatment and being circumcised at the clinic.
