Highlight

  • Donation-based interventions, such as secondary distribution of HIV self-tests and secondary syringe exchange, foster prosocial behaviors improving HIV/STI service reach.
  • Givers are motivated by altruism and developing a prosocial identity, especially within close social networks, facilitating tailored and reciprocal health service distribution.
  • Legal risks and potential for unsupervised clinical care pose barriers, particularly in secondary syringe exchange among people who inject drugs.
  • Incorporating prosocial donation models could enhance HIV/STI program implementation globally, especially among marginalized populations.
