摘要

背景:HIV检测服务(HTS)是人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)预防举措的重要组成部分,也是医疗保健必不可少的第一步。在南非,男性接受艾滋病毒检测的比例低于女性,因此死亡率更高。目的:这篇叙述性综述旨在描述在撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)的设施和社区层面提高男性对HTS的吸收所采用的方法。方法:利用在线数据库检索2019 - 2024年发表的相关英文文献。总共确定了475条记录,在删除重复项后包括了426条记录。在审查摘要后,只有13项研究被纳入综述。结果:这一调查结果揭示了与改善艾滋病毒检测相关的三个主题和七个子主题:改善获得检测的机会(艾滋病毒自我检测、社区检测和工作场所检测)、动机和支持(利益攸关方参与和创造检测需求)以及卫生设施服务(基于设施的检测和男性卫生保健工作者提供的服务)。结论:数量有限的研究突出了需要更多的研究来开发和测试干预措施,以鼓励男性利用HTS。多管齐下的方法,包括不同的角色扮演可能是有益的。这需要通过利用社交媒体、广播和地方报纸等平台不断创造需求来支持。贡献:本研究整理了旨在鼓励SSA男性接受HTS的干预措施。

Interventions for reaching men to improve HIV Testing Services in sub-Saharan Africa: A narrative review.

Interventions for reaching men to improve HIV Testing Services in sub-Saharan Africa: A narrative review.

Background:  The HIV Testing Services (HTS) are a vital component of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention initiatives, and the essential first step to healthcare. Men in South Africa have been shown to test for HIV at a lower rate than women, with a resulting higher mortality rate.

Aim:  This narrative review aimed to describe the approaches used to improve the uptake of HTS by men both at the facility and community level in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Method:  Online databases were used to search for relevant studies published from 2019 to 2024 in English. A total of 475 records were identified, with 426 being included after duplicates were removed. After reviewing the abstracts, only 13 studies were included in the review.

Results:  This findings revealed three themes and seven sub-themes related to improving HTS uptake: improved access to testing (HIV self-testing, community-based testing and workplace testing), motivation and support (stakeholder involvement and creating a demand for testing) and health facility services (facility-based testing and services provided by male healthcare workers).

Conclusion:  The limited number of studies highlights the need for more research into developing and testing interventions to encourage men to utilise HTS. A multipronged approach that includes various role-players can be beneficial. This needs to be supported by continuous demand creation utilising platforms such as social media, radio and local newspapers.Contribution: The study collates the interventions intended to encourage men to undertake HTS in SSA.
