Abstract
HIV continues to be a global public health issue, even with the availability of effective HIV prevention technologies, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Despite increasing data showing that tenofovir disoproxil fumarate-based oral PrEP is safe and needs minimal monitoring, the HIV testing requirement restricts increasing the length of PrEP dispensing intervals to more than once every 3 months.1 HIV self-testing (HIVST) is acceptable in diverse settings and uptake is generally high,2 but HIVST use for PrEP support is not yet approved by WHO.
