Abstract：Objective To investigate the characteristics of AHFtest-based HIV antibody self-testing among male adolescents at ages of 15 to 24 years, so as to provide insights into the promotion of HIV antibody self-testing. Methods Data were collected from male adolescents at ages of 15 to 24 years that applied for HIV antibody self-testing in the AHFtest platform from 2019 to 2021, with mailing address showing as Zhejiang Province, and demographics, applying cause and testing results were analyzed. Results A total of 268 male adolescents were enrolled, with a median age of 22.00 (interquartile range, 3.00) years. There were 160 cases with an educational level of junior college/bachelor (59.70%), 147 students (54.85%), 175 men who had sex with men (65.30%), and 126 cases with a history of previous HIV antibody self-testing (47.01%). The main causes for applying for HIV antibody self-testing through AHFtest were "easy to operate" (259 cases, 96.64%) and "privacy protect" (102 cases, 38.06%). There were 203 subjects that applied once HIV antibody self-testing (75.75%), and 65 subjects that applied multiple self-testing (24.25%). There were 123 subjects that uploaded their test results (45.90%), including 3 cases with HIV antibody positive, and 125 subjects that did not tell others the self-testing results (46.64%). Conclusions Among male applicants at ages of 15 to 24 years in Zhejiang Province from 2019 to 2021, students are predominant occupation. Easy to operate and privacy protect are the main cause for the application, but the proportion of detection results uploading is relatively low.
