Abstract

An online assessment among -social media-using YMSM found that 87% were willing to use HIV self-testing with online supervision (HIVSTOS). Correlates included never tested, having higher numbers of sexual partners and seeking partners online. HIVSTOS may be appropriate for YMSM who have high risks and may not access venue-based settings.
