简要总结
The study aims to address low testing and related issues such as stigma, low-risk perception, and concerns about confidentiality affecting testing. To overcome these challenges, the study proposes to adapt the Many Men Many Voices (3MV) into a modified version called LAFIYA to tackle intersectional stigma and improve HIVST among young sexual minority men in Ghana.
