Undetectable=untransmittable (U=U) messaging increases uptake of HIV testing among men: Results from a pilot cluster randomized trial
Open accessPreprint — published as 10.1007/s10461-021-03284-y · Paper page
Abstract
HIV testing coverage in sub-Saharan Africa is lower among men than women. We investigated the impact of a peer-delivered U=U (undetectable equals untransmittable) message on men’s HIV testing uptake through a cluster randomized trial with individual mobile clinic days as unit of randomization. On standard of care (SOC) days, peer promoters’ informed men about the availability of HIV testing at the mobile clinic. On intervention days, peer promoters’ delivered U=U messages. We used logistic regression adjusting for mobile clinic location, clustering by study day, to determine the percentage of invited men who tested for HIV at the mobile clinic. Peer promoters delivered 1048 invitations over 12 days. In the SOC group, 68 (13%) of 544 men invited tested for HIV (3, 4.4% HIV-positive). In the U=U group, 112 (22%) of 504 men invited tested for HIV (7, 6.3% HIV-positive). Men in the U=U group had greater odds of testing for HIV (adjusted odds ratio=1.59, 95% CI=0.98-2.57). Tailored, peer-delivered messages that explain the benefits of HIV treatment in reducing HIV transmission can increase men’s HIV testing uptake.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
