Home collection versus publicly funded HIV testing in San Francisco: who tests where?
Article Abstract:
The authors have learned that individuals who have HIV testing done through home collection (HC) are demographically different from those who have testing done at anonymous publicly funded (PF) locations. Those who have HC testing tend to be lower risk and higher income, with a higher proportion being tested for the first time than in PF tests.
