艾滋病毒自我检测 (HIVST) 是克服艾滋病毒检测获取和接受方面差异的潜在策略，特别是在重点人群 (KP) 中。对 KP 的可接受性、价值观和偏好进行了文献综述。数据按照国家收入世界银行分类、标本采集类型、提供的支持水平和其他定性方面进行分析。大多数研究来自高收入国家和男男性行为者 (MSM)，他们认为 HIVST 是可以接受的。总的来说，MSM 对 HIVST 很感兴趣，因为它方便且私密。然而，他们对缺乏咨询、可能的用户错误和准确性感到担忧。其他 KP 群体对 HIVST 的价值观和偏好的数据有限。这应该是一个研究重点，因为 HIVST 可能会变得更广泛，包括在资源有限的环境中。本文的在线版本 (doi:10.1007/s10461-015-1097-8) 包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
HIV self-testing (HIVST) is a potential strategy to overcome disparities in access to and uptake of HIV testing, particularly among key populations (KP). A literature review was conducted on the acceptability, values and preferences among KP. Data was analyzed by country income World Bank classification, type of specimen collection, level of support offered and other qualitative aspects. Most studies identified were from high-income countries and among men who have sex with men (MSM) who found HIVST to be acceptable. In general, MSM were interested in HIVST because of its convenient and private nature. However, they had concerns about the lack of counseling, possible user error and accuracy. Data on the values and preferences of other KP groups regarding HIVST is limited. This should be a research priority, as HIVST is likely to become more widely available, including in resource-limited settings.
