Declarations

:

: Ethical approval was not required as there were minimal changes in the usual procedure, where instead of the usual test performed by a trained member of staff, the participants were asked to do HIV self-test by themselves with the support of a trained member of staff who could offer assistance. The test used in the study had regulatory approval in Italy. All participants gave consent to participate and anonymity was ensured.

: Not applicable.
