Abstract:
The current situation of AIDS prevention and control is still challenging in China. Although China has made great progress in expanding HIV testing and promoting case identification, there are still a large number of HIV-infected individuals who have not been identified, which might influence the overall achievement of the goal of HIV/AIDS prevention and control. Thus, China needs to further promote self-testing while conducting routine HIV testing and use it as a supplement to further expand HIV testing coverage. The articles in this issue focus on the global situation of HIV self-testing services, reports the changes of self-testing among MSM in China from 2013 to 2018, and compares the effects of different HIV/syphilis self-testing models in promoting HIV/syphilis testing in key populations in order to achieve the overall goal of AIDS prevention and control in China.
