Low rates of prior HIV testing among HIV-positive adults accessing outpatient services in Eswatini

Article scientifique 2019 Anglais

Résumé

Prior HIV testing and awareness of HIV-positive status were assessed among HIV-positive adults at 20 clinics in Eswatini. Of 2196 HIV-positive adults, 1183 (53.8%) reported no prior HIV testing, and 1948 (88.7%) were unaware of their HIV-positive status. Males [adjusted odds ratio, AOR, (95% confidence interval): 0.7 (0.5-0.9)], youth 18-25 years [AOR 0.6 (0.4-0.95)], adults ≥ 50 years [AOR 0.5 (0.3-0.9)], those needing family support [AOR 0.6 (0.5-0.8)], and those living ≥ 45 min from clinic [AOR 0.5 (0.4-0.8)] were less likely to know their HIV-positive status. More HIV testing is needed to achieve 95-95-95 targets, with targeted strategies for those less likely to test for HIV.
