Although HIV self-tests are usually not recommended for PrEP patients due to their lower sensitivity in detecting recent HIV infection during PrEP use, clinicians could consider use of these tests when other options are not available.eSTAMP was a national randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the public health benefits of mailing HIV self-tests to Internet-recruited gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men in the US during 2015-2016 .
