Comparing the effects of HIV self-testing to standard HIV testing for key populations: a systematic review and meta-analysis
T. Charles Witzel,Ingrid Eshun-Wilson,Muhammad S Jamil,Nerissa Tilouche,Carmen Figueroa,Cheryl Johnson,David Reid,Rachel Baggaley,Nandi Siegfried,Fiona Burns,Alison Rodger,Peter Weatherburn +11 more
TL;DR: HIVST is safe and increases testing uptake and frequency as well as yield of positive results for MSM and trans people without negative effects on linkage to HIV care, STI testing, condom use or social harm.

TL;DR: This study provides robust estimates of the prevalence of both virus (RT-PCR, REACT-1) and seroprevalence (antibody) in the general population in England and explores acceptability and usability of LFIAs for self-administered testing for SARS-CoV-2 antibody in a home-based setting, not done before at such scale in thegeneral population.

Effects of a Mobile Health Intervention to Promote HIV Self-testing with MSM in China: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Xiaofang Zhu,Wenhan Zhang,Don Operario,Yue Zhao,Anxia Shi,Zhihua Zhang,Pan Gao,Ashley E. Pérez,Jun Wang,Nickolas Zaller,Cui Yang,Yehuan Sun,Hongbo Zhang +12 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effects of this mHealth approach to promoting oral HIVST among MSM in China, and significant time effects were found such that all participants, regardless of group allocation, had significantly higher rates of reporting consistent condom use with main partners.

A Coefficient of agreement for nominal Scales
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for having two or more judges independently categorize a sample of units and determine the degree, significance, and significance of the units. But they do not discuss the extent to which these judgments are reproducible, i.e., reliable.

Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis
TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.
