An online audio computer-assisted self-interview for pre-screening prior to rapid HIV testing in a vulnerable population.
ACASI (Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview) has been demonstrated to be more effective than face to face interviews in eliciting truthful responses on sensitive subjects such as substance abuse and sexual behavior (1, 2). Thus, ACASI has the potential to streamline and standardize HIV counseling and testing by providing a comprehensive overview of each patients behavior while highlighting areas that may merit further exploration.
