P714 HIV testing and undiagnosed fraction among adolescent girls and young women by engagement in sex work in mombasa, kenya

Background Traditional HIV prevention and testing services are generally designed to either reach female sex workers or to reach adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), but not both. We sought to compare the levels and determinants of HIV testing, and the prevalence of undiagnosed HIV across subsets of AGYW in Kenya. Methods We used data from Transitions, a 2015 cross-sectional survey of 1,299 women age 14–24 years who frequented hotspots associated with formal sex work in Mombasa, Kenya. We compared the prevalence and frequency of recent HIV testing in the previous year between AGYW involved in sex work (YSW, N=408) versus those who did not sell sex (NSW, N=891), and excluding those diagnosed with HIV ≥1 year before the survey. We used logistic regression model to identify univariate determinants of recent testing in each group. We then compared the prevalence of undiagnosed HIV among YSW and NSW living with HIV. Results Overall, 72% reported a recent HIV test: 85% YSW and 65% NSW (p Conclusion Shared determinants of testing suggest that reaching across high-risk AGYW via hotspot based strategies could fill gaps left by traditional HIV prevention and testing services.
