520	8		_aIntroduction—In Los Angeles County, about 25% of men who have sex with men (MSM) are unaware of their HIV positive status. Methods—An advertisement publicizing free HIV self-tests was placed on Grindr™, a smartphone social networking application, from April 17 to May 29, 2014. Users were linked to http://freehivselftests.weebly.com/ to choose a self-test delivery method: U.S. mail, a Walgreens® voucher, or from a vending machine. Black or Latino MSM ≥ 18 years old were invited to take a testing experiences survey. Results—During the campaign, the website received 11,939 unique visitors (average: 284 per day) and 334 self-test requests. Among 57 survey respondents, fifty-five (97%) reported using the self-test was easy; two persons reported testing HIV positive and both sought medical care. Conclusions—Social networking application self-testing promotion resulted in a large number of self-test requests and has high potential to reach untested high-risk populations who will link to care if positive.
