在拉丁裔和黑人男男性行为者(MSM)中，未被识别的艾滋病毒感染率明显更高。政策制定者提出，艾滋病毒自我检测试剂盒和提供自我检测的新方法可以提高少数族裔MSM对检测的接受程度。这项研究试图对有色人种男男性接触者进行定性评估，以确定使用电子自动售货机分发艾滋病毒自我检测试剂盒的可接受性。非裔和拉丁裔MSM是从Facebook上现有的艾滋病毒预防试验的参与者池中招募的。如果参与者表示有兴趣使用自动售货机接收艾滋病毒自我检测试剂盒，他们会收到一个4位个人识别码(PIN)的电子邮件，以便从机器上检索检测结果。我们对那些进行了测试的人进行了跟踪调查，以评估他们是否愿意参与关于他们经历的面试。发放了12个试剂盒，进行了8次访谈。总的来说，与会者表示，自动售货机由于新颖和方便，是一种可以接受的艾滋病毒检测交付方法。这种艾滋病毒检测试剂盒交付模式的可接受性与三个主要因素密切相关：可信度、保密性和便利性。在扩大分配方法之前，需要进行未来的研究来解决用户引起的错误和成本等问题。
Rates of unrecognized HIV infection are significantly higher among Latino and Black men who have sex with men (MSM). Policy makers have proposed that HIV self-testing kits and new methods for delivering self-testing could improve testing uptake among minority MSM. This study sought to conduct qualitative assessments with MSM of color to determine the acceptability of using electronic vending machines to dispense HIV self-testing kits. African American and Latino MSM were recruited using a participant pool from an existing HIV prevention trial on Facebook. If participants expressed interest in using a vending machine to receive an HIV self-testing kit, they were emailed a 4-digit personal identification number (PIN) code to retrieve the test from the machine. We followed up with those who had tested to assess their willingness to participate in an interview about their experience. Twelve kits were dispensed and 8 interviews were conducted. In general, participants expressed that the vending machine was an acceptable HIV test delivery method due to its novelty and convenience. Acceptability of this delivery model for HIV testing kits was closely associated with three main factors: credibility, confidentiality, and convenience. Future research is needed to address issues, such as user-induced errors and costs, before scaling up the dispensing method.
