In STAR, two pragmatic cluster-randomized trials evaluated the effectiveness of continuous HIVST distribution over 12 months in increasing testing coverage and linkage to care in Malawi and Zambia. A third trial, in Zimbabwe, evaluated the effectiveness of an incentive to promote linkage following a short, campaign-style HIVST distribution programme, and included a non-randomized component assessing the association between HIVST distribution and antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiations in nearby clinics.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-59d6391 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"59d6391\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-86f9f0b\" data-id=\"86f9f0b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-311f9fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"311f9fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAUTHORS: Melissa Neuman, Miriam Taegtmeyer, Karin Hatzold, Cheryl C Johnson, Helen A Weiss and Katherine Fielding\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"template":"","star_resource_type":[2172],"star_language":[2177],"star_country":[2207,2213,2214],"star_population_served":[],"star_health_area":[2235,2234],"class_list":["post-50893","star_publication","type-star_publication","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","star_resource_type-abstract","star_language-english","star_country-malawi","star_country-zambia","star_country-zimbabwe","star_health_area-hiv","star_health_area-hivst"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/star_publication\/50893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/star_publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/star_publication"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/star_publication\/50893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50897"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"star_resource_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/star_resource_type?post=50893"},{"taxonomy":"star_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/star_language?post=50893"},{"taxonomy":"star_country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/star_country?post=50893"},{"taxonomy":"star_population_served","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/star_population_served?post=50893"},{"taxonomy":"star_health_area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psi.org\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/star_health_area?post=50893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
