简要总结
This study explores whether offering follow-up counseling and referral over the phone after using a home-based HIV test increases rates of ever and repeat testing, compared with home-based testing with no follow-up (HBST alone) or mailing reminders for clinic-based testing.

研究组 & 干预措施
"Enhanced" home-based testing
These participants will download a study-specific smartphone app ("eTEST"), and receive home-based HIV test kits in the mail every 3 months. These kits will have been fit with sensors that enable remote detection of when the kit was opened. Qualified HIV test counselors (QHTC) will then follow up with these participants within 24 hours of receiving notification that the test has been opened to conduct routine counseling, offer referrals for other services, and connect those with reactive results with follow-up care.
干预措施: "Smart" home-based test for HIV (Behavioral)
Home-based testing alone
These participants will receive a typical home-based test for HIV in the mail every 3 months, but no phone-based follow-up will be provided.
干预措施: Home-based testing only (Behavioral)
Reminders for clinic-based testing
Participants in this condition will receive a letter in the mail every 3 months reminding them to be tested at a local clinic for free.
干预措施: Reminder letters for clinic-based testing (Behavioral)
