摘要：
Self-testing for COVID-19 using antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) shows high promise in the Philippines. Self-testing has the potential to provide broader access to testing, empowering individuals by bringing healthcare services closer to them. We con-ducted 15 semi-structured interviews with health offi-cers and decision-makers in the Philippines. These interviews explored the experiences and perspectives on the acceptability and feasibility of self-test use and im-plementation. We found that self-testing is easy-to-use, provides rapid results and can facilitate early detection. However, regulatory policies, linkages to care and effec-tive health education plans must be in place for success-ful implementation.
