Abstract

Could home human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) self-testing make a major difference in identifying persons with undiagnosed HIV in the United States? We argue that approval of new self-test assays for home use would help but must be combined with extensive investment in community outreach and linkage to care to make an impact.
