HIV Self-Testing Mobile Health Project

TMCG partnered with LVCT Health and PS Kenya to deliver a Mobile Health (mHealth) service to support the uptake of HIV Self Testing (HIVST) mobile health project and linkage into HIV prevention and treatment services among adolescents and young adults in Kenya.

The service comprises the use of a call center for a helpline, two-way SMS consultations, Interactive Voice Response (IVR) with prerecorded content, and intelligent chatbots on social media to provide relevant HIVST information, counseling support, and linkage to HIV treatment and prevention services. This is the first-of-its-kind implementation of mHealth in HIVST in Africa.
