Abstract
Thirtyone gay and bisexual men were interviewed on the acceptability potential use benefits and limitations of rapid selftesting for HIV in Australia The majority of men supported the introduction of rapid selftesting and would be likely to or would use the tests for home use However most reported they would use them for interim testing and not to replace conventional blood testing at health services as they could not detect other sexually transmitted infections or provide the professional expertise and support provided at health services
