This study examined the views of Australian men who have sex with men (MSM) on the acceptability and potential uptake of rapid oral testing for HIV in clinic and home-based settings.

We found that overall, MSM expressed a preference for rapid oral HIV testing. They would test more frequently if rapid oral HIV testing was available for clinic or home use in Australia.
