Description
Stefani Butts and eight co-authors build an HIV test kit with its users in a 2025 paper. Miami-Dade County has high HIV rates and low uptake of preventive pills. A peer handed kit could carry testing into social networks. The team designed it with the community from the start.
A ten member advisory panel guided the kit's creation. Members came from prevention groups, universities, and affected communities. The kit, Test-to-PrEP, pairs a home self test with prevention information. Design rounds refined wording, look, and cultural fit. Peer to peer handout is the distribution plan. Early engagement aimed at groups with the least service access. The paper documents the participatory build process. Roll out results will follow in later reports.
