Abstract

Content and thematic analysis revealed HCPs perceived CHTC to be an evolution from current HIV testing approaches and a mechanism to screen people who may not otherwise. CHTC was perceived to have biomedical and bio-behavioral merit that warranted consideration for implementation within health service settings and among populations with heightened HIV risk. This strategy was perceived to be a mechanism for introducing PrEP and conception health into one's practice. CHTC also signaled patients reorienting perceptions of personal health as being linked to the health of another individual. Providers recognized that couples have evolved to be increasingly non-heteronormative and thought that CHTC should be offered to all couples. However, participants also noted that HCPs in the U.S. need to be comfortable with promoting sexual health among various populations for implementation of CHTC to be successful.
