Abstract

Patient-delivered partner therapy (PDPT) is the practice of providing patients diagnosed with bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) medication to give directly to their partner for treatment, which can result in missed opportunities for partner HIV testing. Fifteen STI clinic patients were asked about their opinions of including HIV self-testing (HIVST) kits with PDPT. Interview data fit well into constructs of the information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model. Patients’ motivations to deliver HIVST kits to their partners included the importance of earlier identification of HIV, convenience, avoidance of STI clinic stigma, and empowerment of individual and partner protection against HIV. Patients described the need for more information with worries about the quality of the HIVST device and questions about how it worked. Patients worried about their partners’ reaction, including the potential for violence, and needed skills to support their partner with HIVST. Public health policies should support the inclusion of HIVST kits with PDPT, but additional intervention research is needed to more fully support patients and their partners with HIVST and PDPT.
