Finding new ways to promote HIV Self Test Kits in Kenya

‍Addressing HIV Testing Disconnect 

Kenya experiences an increased financial, education, and health burden, despite efforts in HIV/AIDS programming. There is a clear disconnect between HIV testing and the potential of treatment. Matchboxolog explored this topic to find new ways to promote HIV Self Test (HIVST) kits to men at great risk.

Human-Centred Design Process 

The human-centred design process helped to unpack the concerns, challenges, and opportunities relevant to HIVST. Matchboxology concluded that eradicating stigma is essential for any successful intervention.

Early Prototypes and Pilot Phase 

The research led to early prototypes to increase HIV self-testing, which were tested with users before moving on to a pilot phase of the project.
