Preferences for receipt of STI results and treatment from a health worker
NG/CT
TGW preferred to receive STI test results directly from the health worker without peer involvement to maintain confidentiality. They desired that peers deliver test kits but not communicate results or deliver STI medication for confidentiality reasons.

Self‐sampling was viewed favourably compared to facility‐based sampling; however, it was not ideal. Some TGW expressed reservations about the confidentiality of test results because of the involvement of peers—who could be perceived as TGW in the community, thus increasing worry about stigma. If NG/CT self‐tests were available, TGW would prefer to conduct and interpret the tests independently, thus removing peers as intermediaries and maximizing confidentiality.
