The effect of a social network-based intervention to promote HIV testing and linkage to HIV services among fishermen in Kenya: a cluster-randomised trial

A status-neutral social network intervention that utilised HIV self-screening tests proved to be highly effective in engaging hard-to-reach, highly mobile Kenyan men in HIV testing and care. This strategy holds promise for improving early detection and care engagement for other infectious and non-communicable diseases globally.
Similar approaches that leverage peer influence within social networks and the growing accessibility of self-screening tests could be adapted for conditions such as tuberculosis, hepatitis, and hypertension in diverse global health settings
