Welcome to the CATEST Study Website!
HIV prevention programs must prioritize youth engagement in HIV prevention services and provide youth-informed modalities for HIV self-testing uptake to circumvent barriers to testing and address syndemic factors that exacerbate these barriers. The Community-engaged Approaches To Expand HIV Self-Testing (CATEST) project will develop novel participatory and youth-driven implementation strategies to promote HIV self-testing among adolescents and young adults in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The project will forge partnerships to garner the wisdom of youth, local communities, organizations, and health systems to develop HIV self-testing implementation strategies to augment current HIV prevention efforts in Mecklenburg County.
