Mechanisms of intervention action | • Attributions for decision to test ◦ Role of promoter: perceived influence ◦ Other barriers and facilitators to testing • Attitudes and expectancies re: use of HIVST • Perceived norms re: testing within close social network • Vicarious efficacy re: HIV self-testing (seeing peers successfully use HIVST) | • Attributions for decision to link ◦ Role of promoter: perceived influence ◦Role of incentives • Attitudes and expectancies re: ART and PrEP • Perceived norms re: linkage to ART and PrEP within close social network • Vicarious efficacy re: linkage (seeing peers successfully link to ART or PrEP) | • Attributions for ongoing engagement in HIV care (ART) and prevention (PrEP) ◦ Role of promoter: perceived influence ◦ Role of incentives • Perceived norms re: engagement in ART and PrEP within close social network • Vicarious efficacy (seeing peers successfully engaged in ART or PrEP) |
Factors impacting effectiveness of intervention components | • Knowledge of how to use self-tests (effectiveness of promoter training) • Relationship factors (e.g., HIV status disclosure, HIV seroconcordant/discordant status) • Psychological factors (e.g., perceived risk, fear, fatalism, self-efficacy to test for HIV) | • Knowledge of benefits of ART and PrEP (effectiveness of promoter training) • Relationship factors (e.g., HIV status disclosure, partner support) • Psychological factors (e.g., expectancies, fear, fatalism, self-efficacy to link) | • Experiences with ART/PrEP (perceived emotional, physical benefits/costs) • Effective management of side effects • Relationship factors (e.g., relationship change, disclosure, partner support) • Psychological factors (e.g., ART/PrEP fatigue, changes in risk, self-efficacy) |
Barriers and facilitators of implementation | • Role of promoter: salience, trust towards promoter within network • Promoters’ self-perceptions and motivation | • Individual mobility and distance to clinic • Past and current experiences with providers/perceived quality of care | • Individual mobility and distance to clinic • Past and current experiences with providers/perceived quality of care |
