Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It concerns a study to evaluate the usability of an HIV self-test prototype developed from TR DPP® HIV - 1/2 Oral Fluid. The study followed the recommendations of Technical Note No. 20/2016 / GEVIT / GGTPS / ANVISA.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It concerns a study with a mixed method approach to evaluate the usability of a prototype of HIV self-test among lay users. Data collection techniques were performed through observation through videos of lay users conducting self-testing without supervision, a qualitative checklist by participant observation, pre-test and post-test interviews, and closure form. There was no randomization in this study.

The study was conducted by four clinical research sites, distributed in four different states of Brazil in other to obtain a geographic representation: Unidade de Ensaios Clínicos para Imunobiológicos (UECI) at Rio de Janeiro; Centro de Ciências da Saúde da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB) at Paraíba, Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu (UNESP) at São Paulo and Centro de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde da Universidade Estadual do Pará (UEPA) at Pará.
