Tonen-Wolyec S, et al. - Researchers sought for the sociodemographic factors linked with adolescents favoring home-based HIV self-testing (HIVST) over facility-based voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) in Kisangani, Democratic Republic of the Congo. They investigated adolescents (aged 15–19 years) for their hypothetical preference in home-based HIVST over facility-based VCT by a face-to-face, paper-based, semi-structured questionnaire, and logistic regression for statistical analysis in this representative cross-sectional study performed using random sampling in clusters at three levels. In 353 households, they identified 628 of 754 adolescents as eligible for this study. Among these, the study questionnaire were completed by 597 adolescents. A majority of participants were aged 18–19 and of the female gender. The analysis suggests that home-based HIVST is preferred by more adolescents over facility-based VCT in Kisangani. In a multivariate analysis, preference for home-based HIVST over facility-based VCT was observed in association with male gender, marriage or partnered civil status, and previous knowledge about HIVST.
