Despite the usefulness of VCT service as an entry point to prevention for the HIV-uninfected people and care, treatment and support for those who test HIV positive, VCT service remains poorly utilized among the fishing communities. The aim of the study was to identify factors influencing VCT service delivery and utilisation among fishing communities in Uganda and consequently, formulated a strategic framework for improving VCT service delivery and utilisation in the fishing communities. The study followed a 3-phased approach, collecting and analyzing quantitative data from Kasenyi fishing community under phase I, collecting and analyzing qualitative data from hospital managers and VCT counselors in phases II and III, respectively. Results indicate that VCT services delivery and utilisation is affected by factors at government (macro) level, the institution (meso) level, and at the individual (micro) level. Based on this, a strategic framework was designed, expected to increase VCT service availability, accessibility, and acceptability if applied. The researcher recommends the use of this useful tool in the design of VCT programs.

The study found that VCT uptake is positively associated with age, sexual intercourse, and considering themselves self at risk of HIV infection (p=0.05,0.00.0.03 respectively). Moreover, the study also found an association between willingness to uptake VCT in the future with sexual intercourse and considering themselves at risk of HIV of HIV infection (p = 0.03, 0.00 respectively). Conclusion: The uptake of VCT is very low among university students, and it is associated with age and risk perception and sexual intercourse. The most important factors include not considering themselves at risk or not knowing the place of testing or no knowledge about the test or the fear of being positive. On the other hand, willingness to uptake the test was considerably high.

HIV/AIDS cases in Indonesia are still high including the infection from mothers to the babies. Infection cases from mothers to babies in Yogyakarta Special Province is also found on babies. The preliminary study also obtained the result that in 2015 not all of the pregnant women who were willing to have VCT (Voluntary Counseling and Testing) in Sleman Regency working area. The data of VCT in Prambanan Primary Health Center also shows that the prevalence rate of VCT check as a preventive effort was still low. The research is aimed at investigating the correlation between midwife’s support and VCT on pregnant women in Prambanan Primary Health Center in 2016. The study employed observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The population of the study was all mothers who did pregnancy examination and got counseling VCT service. The samples used accidental sampling technique. Data analysis used chi-square with the trustworthy rate 95%. The result of the study showed that there was no correlation between midwife and VCT on pregnant women. It can happen because of the midwife as a professional attendant could not attend the pregnant women full time. It can be concluded that there was no correlation between midwife’s support and VCT on pregnant women in Prambanan Primary Health Center in 2016. It is expected that midwives can identify the problem in VCT on pregnant women by giving emotional and respect support to the patients as well as the families.

Full textAbstract:
Voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) has been recognised as an integral element of any effective HIV public health primary prevention and care program. In India, it is currently estimated that 2.0–3.1 million individuals are living with HIV. As low-cost antiretroviral therapy has increasingly become available in India, VCT could be an important link connecting individuals to treatment and care. Major barriers remain for scaling-up of VCT services, including location of VCT centres, HIV-associated stigma, and lack of perception of HIV risk. Future national expansions of VCT services must engage the Indian private sector, which is likely to remain the largest provider of healthcare for the foreseeable future, through scaling-up personnel in these facilities to provide accurate testing and culturally-relevant counselling.

Latar Belakang: Berdasarkan data Komisi Penanggulangan AIDS Kabupaten Sukoharjo pada tahun 2017, Lelaki Seks dengan Lelaki (LSL) merupakan kelompok risiko HIV tertinggi. Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) merupakan salah satu strategi deteksi dini HIV dan sebagai pintu masuk ke seluruh layanan kesehatan HIV/AIDS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan perilaku pemanfaatan Klinik VCT oleh LSL di Sukoharjo. Metode: Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus terhadap lima LSL sebagai informan utama yang rutin dan tidak pernah tes HIV. Teknik pengumpulan data dengan cara wawancara mendalam kepada informan utama dan dua informan triangulasi terdiri dari satu orang Peer Educator dan satu orang Koordinator Lapangan.Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh informan sudah pernah melakukan VCT walaupun dengan mandatory melalui perkumpulan LSL, namun hanya empat orang yang melakukannya secara rutin. Faktor-faktor yang menjadi penyebab informan rutin dalam melakukan VCT setiap 3 bulan adalah persepsi kerentanan yang besar, persepsi keseriusan yang tinggi, persepsi manfaat tes yang cukup besar, persepsi hambatan terhadap tes yang rendah, serta cukup banyaknya isyarat untuk bertindak yang terpapar kepada informan dan tingginya persepsi kemampuan diri untuk tes. Tetapi bila didalami lagi banyaknya isyarat bertindak yang dialami informan terutama adalah contoh yang diperlihatkan oleh teman sebaya. Sedangkan bagi informan yang tidak melakukan VCT secara rutin penyebabnya adalah rendahnya kemampuan diri untuk tes. Sehingga peneliti menyarankan kepada petugas perlu peer educator yang rajin untuk memotivasi kelompoknya untuk melakukan tes dan memberikan informasi yang lebih lengkap terhadap dampak penularan HIV kepada LSL dan pasangannya untuk mencegah penularan serta mengurangi stigma dan diskriminasi oleh petugas kesehatan dalam layanan kesehatan.Kata Kunci: HIV/AIDS, Lelaki Seks dengan Lelaki, tes HIV, persepsi, HBM

Full textAbstract:
The Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) Network was implemented in Brazil in the 1980s to promote anonymous and confidential access to HIV diagnosis. As a function of the population and dimensions of the local epidemic, the study assessed the network's coverage, using data from a self-applied questionnaire and data from the Information Technology Department of the Unified National Health System (SUS), UNDP, and National STD/AIDS Program. The Student t test was used for comparison of means and the chi-square test for proportions. Brazil has 383 VCT centers, covering 48.9% of the population and 69.2% of the AIDS cases. The network has been implemented predominantly in regions where the epidemic shows a relevant presence, but 85.3% of the cities with high HIV incidence lack VCT centers; absence of VCT was associated with more limited health infrastructure and worse social indicators. A slowdown in expansion of the network was observed, with VCT Centers implemented on average 16 years after the first AIDS case in the given municipality. The number of HIV tests performed under the SUS is 2.3 times higher in cities with VCT centers. The network's scope is limited, thus minimizing the contribution by these services to the supply of HIV diagnosis in Brazil.

HIV/AIDS has emerged as a serious epidemic in Nepal, concentrated amongst the most-at-risk populations. Volun-tary Counseling and Testing (VCT) is a proven strategy for the prevention and management of HIV/AIDS especially in developing countries. Given that the utilization of VCT is low in Nepal, it is important to understand the barriers and challenges that Nepal is facing in the provision and utilization of these services. This study aimed to provide recommendations for policy makers to improve the utilization of VCT services in Nepal. A qualitative study of VCT health service providers and government officials was undertaken in 4 cities of Nepal. Sixteen interviews, three joint interviews and one focus group discussion were conducted, audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were then analyzed using a thematic analysis framework and major themes were identified. Various barriers including socio-cultural issues, geography, the presence of stigma and discrimination faced by people with HIV/AIDS and a lack of knowledge and awareness were identified as important factors limiting the utilization of VCT services. Current gov-ernment efforts to improve VCT service provision, although promising, require ongoing development. Systemic barriers included the sustainability of the temporary NGO VCT services, lack of staff and training, inadequate moni-toring and evaluation and limited access to services for people living in rural areas. To increase the sustainability and utilization of VCT services, the Government can intervene in a number of areas including the integration of VCT services with existing primary health care services and addressing ongoing education and quality assurance.

Background: Various preventive strategies have been employed to curb the spread of HIV infection as there is presently no cure. Abstinence, avoidance of multiple sexual partners, condom use, voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) and treatment of HIV-infected individuals form the cornerstone of HIV prevention. This study assessed the acceptability of VCT among medical students in a single institution in Nigeria Methodology: Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to clinical medical students of the University of Jos in a cross-sectional study. Results: Out of a total of 368 students surveyed, 178 (50.7%) have had VCT. There was no significant difference between the proportion of males and females who had had VCT previously (48.9% of males and 56.3% of females; χ2 = 1.65, OR = 0.76 95% CI: 0.46-1.20; p = 0.19). The majority of the respondents (83.1%) would want to have VCT. Fear of a positive test result was the main reason given by those who would be unwilling to be tested. Gender had no effect on the willingness of the subjects to have VCT as 81.8% of males and 87.1% of females were predisposed to it (χ2 = 1.95; OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.31-1.26). VCT acceptability was similar among sexually active and inactive respondents (80.2% and 80.2% respectively; χ2 = 0.018, p = 0.99). Conclusion: Awareness of VCT services and acceptability of VCT among medical students is high. These students can be role models for the optimization of VCT services.

Background: The study focused on perceptions and experiences of pregnant women who opted in against those who opted out of voluntary antenatal HIV counseling and testing.Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess pregnant women’s perceptions and experiences in order to gain insight into their views towards voluntary antenatal counseling and testing.Method: A qualitative, descriptive and comparative study was used regarding participants who opted in and opted out. A stratified random sampling was used to collect data from the participants. The study sample comprised six focus group discussions (FGD) of pregnant women who were attending antenatal services at this hospital. Three FGD were women who opted in and other three FGD were for those who opted out. The semi-structure interview guide was used to guide the discussions. The discussions were audio recorded, transcribed and analyzed, using thematic content analysis.Results: Based on the findings of the study, the knowledge of pregnant women who opted in was relatively good comparing with those who opted out. Despite the recognition of the benefits of Voluntary antenatal Counselling and Testing (VCT), it was evident that women were reluctant to use the VCT service because of reasons that include fear of being stigmatized, abandoned and discriminated against. The women’s participation in the existing services of voluntary antenatal counseling and testing was influenced by their partners. It was also found that there were misconceptions surrounding the knowledge of the causes and prevention of vertical transmission. These misconceptions should be talked about. The distance was another factor which hampered the participation of pregnant women in the programme. Other reasons for non-attendance given by the participants included dissatisfaction with some of the nurses’ attitudes, ignorance about the service as well as reluctance to be tested.Recommendations: This study recommends improved partner communication on the issues of HIV/AIDS as it will encourage sharing of confidentiality and responsibility.

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) / Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been a global problem nowadays. To reduce its spread, Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) and Provider-Initiated Testing and Counseling (PITC) have been provided. However, these interventions remain ineffective to discover new cases, as the stigma among health officers may exist.Objective: To compare the stigma towards people living with HIV/AIDS between VCT and PITC officers.Methods: This was a descriptive comparative conducted in Makassar City, Parepare City and Sidenreng Rappang Regency, South Sulawesi Province Indonesia. There were 139 samples were selected using convenience sampling technique, which consisted of 66 VCT counseling officers and 73 PITC officers. The questionnaire from Health Policy Project in Thailand was used to measure the HIV/AIDS related-stigma. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and Mann Whitney test. Results: Findings show that there was a statistically significant difference in stigma between the group of VCT and PITC on people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), which the mean of stigma in the PITC group (73.07) was higher than the mean value in the VCT group (66.61). Conclusion: There is a significant difference in stigma between VCT and PITC officers towards PLWHA. It is suggested that PITC curriculum should be evaluated and supervision and monitoring in both VCT and PITC groups should be implemented regularly to reduce the stigma towards PLWHA.

HIV/AIDS affects the basic educational sector which is the most productive segment of the population and vital to the creation of human capital. The loss of skilled and experienced teachers due to the problem is increasingly compromising the provision of quality education in most African countries. The study was proposed to determine the magnitude of VCT utilization and assess contributing factors that affect VCT service utilization among secondary school teachers in Awi Zone. A cross-sectional study design was conducted among 588 participants in 2014. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 16, presented as frequencies and summary statistics, and tested for presence of significant association with odds ratio at 95% CI. More than half (53.6%) of study participants were tested for HIV. Those who had sexual intercourse, had good knowledge about VCT, were divorced/widowed, were in the age group of 20–29 years, and were married utilized VCT services two, three, four, three, and two times better than their counterparts, respectively. Actions targeting unmarried status, increase of educational level, and teachers with age groups above 30 years are necessary to follow their counterparts to utilize VCT service in order to save loss of teachers.

Voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) service plays an essential part in the prevention of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of participants and analyze the major factors of HIV infection in VCT in Nantong, China. This study was conducted between January 2010 and December 2015, based on the responses to questionnaires and blood test results retrieved from the Chinese National HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Control Information System (CNHCCIS). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors related to HIV infection. Differences between first-time testers and repeat testers were assessed using the chi-squared or Fisher test. Over six years, a total of 11,560 VCT participants were included, and 420 cases were confirmed to be HIV-positive. Overall, the annual number of participants was relatively stable with a mean of 1927, while there was a rapid increase in the HIV detection rate (from 1.03% in 2010 to 7.52% in 2015). In multivariate analysis, referral counseling and having a HIV-positive spouse/fixed sex partners were found to be significantly associated with HIV infection among all participants, while being unmarried or divorced, having commercial heterosexual behaviors, and male-male sexual behaviors are additional HIV-related factors for males. Compared to first-time testers, repeat testers were more willing to engage in high-risk sexual behaviors and had higher HIV detection rates ( P < 0.001 ). In conclusion, the HIV epidemic in Nantong is still not controlled. Therefore, in the future, it is critical to expand VCT services to increase the detection rate of HIV, which can prevent the transmission of HIV effectively.

Permasalahan AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Virus) berkembang
dengan cepat dan menjadi sebuah ancaman kesehatan dunia yang utama.
Salah satu layanan terhadap pemberian informasi seputar HIV/AIDS adalah
melalui VCT (Voluntary Counseling Testing). Adanya diskriminasi
terhadap HIV/AIDS ini membuat keikutsertaan seseorang mengikuti VCT
(Voluntary Counseling Testing) atau tes konseling sukarela bagi seseorang
yang ingin mengetahui status HIV nya mungkin rendah akibat takut
mendapat diskriminasi. Bagi seseorang yang akan menjalankan tes, muncul
berbagai reaksi emosi seperti cemas dan takut, terutama ketika mengetahui
hasil yang diperoleh positif.. Kemampuan seorang individu untuk dapat
menyesuaikan diri dengan stressor yang dialaminya itulah yang disebut
dengan coping stress. Hipotesis penelitian adalah ada hubungan yang
negatif antara coping stres dengan kecemasan. Artinya semakin baik coping
stres maka semakin rendah kecemasan dan sebaliknya. Teknik analisa data
yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah analisa kuantitatif non parametrik:
Spearman’s rho. Hasilnya adalah ada hubungan yang negatif antara coping
stres dengan kecemasan.

Full textAbstract:
Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) remains low among men in sub-Saharan Africa. The factors associated with previous HIV testing and knowledge of partner’s HIV status are described for 9,107 men who visited the Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences’ VCT site in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, between 1997 and 2008. Data are from intake forms administered to clients seeking VCT services. Most of the men (64.5%) had not previously been tested and 75% were unaware of their partner’s HIV status. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that age, education, condom use, and knowledge of partner’s HIV status were significant predictors of previous HIV testing. Education, number of sexual partners, and condom use were also associated with knowledge of partner’s HIV status. The low rate of VCT use among men underscores the need for more intensive initiatives to target men and remove the barriers that prevent HIV disclosure.

Voluntary Counselling and Testing is one of the strategies to respond to the increasing number of Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) new infections. The purpose of this study was to assess the current status of HIV Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) in Rundu urban and identify the barriers to fully effective service.The objectives of the study was to identify the barriers that prevents effective HIV Voluntary Counselling and testing services; asses its success and determine its status in urban, Namibia. A qualitative explorative and descriptive design was employed in this study where all health care and HIV/AIDS professionals including hospital nurses, employees and New Start VCT Centres, and representatives from relevant NGOs, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS)providing Voluntary Counselling services in Rundu urban in Namibia were interviewed. In this study, in depth individual interview structured in accordance with interview guide was used. Content analysis method was employed to analyze the data. Themes that emerged from this study includes: Fear of a positive results (stigma that accompanies seropositivity) and lacks of perceived benefit to getting tested. In addition, financial barriers affecting the poorest populations in Rundu. To increase access and relevance of VCT services, it is recommended that the Ministry of Health and Social Services should develop more detailed counselling guidelines and increase the scope of counselling by addressing the inadequacies of current risk reduction. Despite these hopeful possibilities a number of barriers remains before VCT can be fully effective.

Introduction: Health sciences university students (HSUS) are susceptible to HIV infection due to frequent contact with patients whose HIV status is unknown. This study aimed to compare the HIV/AIDS-related knowledge and the willingness to participate in VCT among HSUS, analyzing the differences between groups, and correlation and effect between variables. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 357 HSUS from the faculty of nursing, pharmacy, psychology and medicine at an accredited university. Samples were selected using simple random sampling. Data analysis used descriptive statistic, Pearson correlation, one-way ANOVA test, and linear regression test (α<0.05).Results: Most respondents were 20-21 years old single female who still live with parents, exposed to HIV/AIDS material twice/more via academic activities; lack of HIV/AIDS-related knowledge (51.5%), highest mean found in medical students (73.1%); willing enough to participate in VCT (83.5%), highest mean found in nursing students (86.4%). No correlation found between variables (p=0.101), and the regression model was not significant (p=0.101). HIV/AIDS-related knowledge contributed only 0.8% influence on the willingness to participate in VCT among HSUS (R2=0.008), other unidentified factors possibly play a more important role.Conclusion: Besides knowledge, other factors like demographic factors, social determinants, close person, health education, fear, and HIV-related stigma may affect the willingness to participate in VCT among HSUS. HSUS's knowledge about HIV/AIDS was low but their willingness to participate in VCT was quite high. HIV/AIDS-related knowledge has a slight contribution in determining HSUS's willingness to participate in VCT. Further analysis of other potential factors is needed to determine stronger predictors.

Peningkatan kasus HIV/ AIDS ini diduga salah satunya disebabkan oleh ditutupnya kawasan lokalisasi Payo Sigadung. Pasca ditutupnya Payo Sigadung tahun 2014 lalu, tentunya menjadi salah satu “ancaman” dikarenakan sulitnya petugas kesehatan melakukan kontrol dan pengawasan terhadap pekerja seks komersial (PSK) tersebut. Hal ini dikarenakan kuat dugaan para pekerja seks komersial tersebut masih bekerja dengan sembunyi-sembunyi dan bahkan menyebar ke luar Payo Sigadung seperti di kawasan hiburan malam dan tempat-tempat lain seperti warung remang-remang dan tempat-tempat lainnya. Sehubungan dengan itu tentunya diperlukan inisiatif masyarakat yang memiliki kesadaran untuk melakukan pemeriksaan kesehatan secara berkala. Salah satu sarana yang bisa dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat adalah layanan Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) yang tersedia di Puskesmas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan Evaluasi Pelaksanaan Layanan VCT dalam Program Pencegahan HIV/AIDS di Puskesmas Pakuan Baru Kota Jambi.

AbstractVoluntary counselling and testing (VCT) for HIV has been promoted as a strategy to prevent HIV pandemics by changing sexual behaviour. Despite the provision of VCT in countries with generalized or high-burden epidemics, including Nigeria, the extent of its influence on behavioural change remains a conjecture. The main objective of this study was to examine the influence of HIV VCT on sexual behaviour changes among youths in Nigeria. The study utilized 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) data. Data were analysed from a nationally representative sample drawn from 8046 females and 6031 males aged 15–24 giving a total sample of 14,077 never-married youths. Descriptive and analytical analyses were carried out, including multivariate logistic regression. The study found a low uptake of HIV VCT and regional variation in behavioural changes between female and male youths. Voluntary HIV counselling and testing was found to be a protective factor for condom use at last sex for female youths, but significantly reduced the likelihood of primary sexual abstinence for both females and males, as well as having a single sexual partner for female youths. After controlling HIV VCT with other variables, certain socioeconomic factors were found to be significantly associated with behavioural changes. Thus, the attitudes of most Nigerian youths towards voluntary HIV counselling and testing needs to be improved through socioeconomic factors for healthy sexual activity. To achieve this, government and non-governmental organizations, as well as religious leaders and policymakers, should engage in appropriate and long-term activities directed at the sexual health needs of never-married youths, through voluntary HIV counselling and testing, to encourage them to change their sexual behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
As the HIV epidemic continues to grow worldwide, women are increasingly and disproportionally affected. With the introduction of anti-retroviral medications that have been found to effectively prevent perinatal transmission of HIV, the approach to HIV testing in pregnant women has grown increasingly more controversial. In recent years, the model of voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) has come into question with opt-out testing now advocated for by the Centers for Disease Control and occurring widely in pregnancy. The benefits of opt-out testing are numerous and may justify its use in replacing the VCT that many have come to see as insufficient. An ethical analysis of opt-out testing suggests it may be at odds with true informed consent and involve a degree of coercion that would not be allowed outside the prenatal setting. If opt-out testing is going to remain the standard of care then the ethical issues it raises must be made transparent. Strategies need to be designed for ensuring that HIV counseling and testing in pregnancy is done in accordance with ethical and reproductive rights principles.

Abstrak
Latar belakang: Lelaki Seks Lelaki (LSL) merupakan kelompok berisiko tinggi tertular HIV/AIDS dikarenakan kecenderungannya berganti pasangan dan melakukan seks anal. Kelompok LSL merupakan faktor risiko tertinggi kasus baru HIV di Indonesia. Klinik VCT (Voluntary Counselling and Testing) merupakan pintu masuk utama pada layanan pencegahan, perawatan, dukungan, dan pengobatan HIV/AIDS. Namun LSL yang memanfaatkan klinik VCT di Kecamatan Ciputat mengalami penurunan dari tahun sebelumnya.
Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui secara mendalam mengenai gambaran keinginan kelompok LSL dalam memanfaatkan klinik VCT di Puskesmas Ciputat.
Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualititatif deskriptif dengan metode studi kasus, yang dilaksanakan pada Februari-November 2019 di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Ciputat. Informan utama adalah kelompok homoseksual maupun biseksual yang dipilih dengan cara purposive sampling. Validasi data menggunakan triangulasi sumber dan analisa data dilakukan dengan content analysis.
Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar informan belum memiliki keinginan untuk memanfaatkan klinik VCT di Puskesmas Ciputat, berpengetahuan kurang mengenai HIV/AIDS maupun klinik VCT, serta memiliki persepsi kerentanan dan efikasi diri yang rendah. Semua informan memiliki hambatan, persepsi keparahan yang tinggi, persepsi manfaat yang baik, serta isyarat untuk bertindak cukup besar.
Kesimpulan: Sebagian besar LSL belum memiliki keinginan untuk memanfaatkan klinik VCT. Hal ini karena informan memiliki pengetahuan yang kurang terkait HIV/AIDS maupun klinik VCT. Puskesmas dan LSM diharapkan dapat bekerja sama untuk dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai HIV/AIDS dan klinik VCT.

HIV self-testing (HIVST) offers an alternative to facility-based voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) services, particularly for vulnerable populations such as adolescents. This study aimed to determine the sociodemographic factors associated with adolescents preferring home-based HIVST over facility-based VCT in Kisangani, Democratic Republic of the Congo. A representative cross-sectional study using random sampling in clusters at three levels was conducted among adolescents (aged 15–19 years) to assess their hypothetical preference in home-based HIVST over facility-based VCT by a face-to-face, paper-based, semi-structured questionnaire, and logistic regression for statistical analysis. In 353 households, 754 adolescents were assessed for eligibility, of whom 628 were eligible. A total of 597 adolescents completed the study questionnaire. A majority of participants were aged 18–19 and of female gender. More than two-thirds of participants had never been tested for HIV and had no knowledge about HIVST before this survey. Among 597 adolescents who had completed the study questionnaire, a slight majority of participants (323/597; 54.1% [95% CI: 50.0–58.0]) preferred home-based HIVST over facility-based VCT. In a multivariate analysis, male gender (adjusted OR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.1–2.1), marriage or partnered civil status (adjusted OR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1–3.1), and previous knowledge about HIVST (adjusted OR: 4.2, 95% CI: 2.6–6.8) were associated with preference for home-based HIVST over facility-based VCT. This study demonstrates that more adolescents preferred home-based HIVST over facility-based VCT in Kisangani. These observations suggest the existence of a specific sociodemographic profile associated with the acceptance of HIVST in adolescents living in sub-Saharan Africa.

The increasing prevalence rates of HIV amongst South Africans 20 years and above, raises a concern as to the rising trend of the epidemic in similar age group within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Higher Education HIV/AIDS Programme (HEAIDS), in conjunction with HEIs and the South African government have undertaken to implement HIV/AIDS workplace programmes within universities in South Africa. Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) is a critical component of most universities HIV/AIDS workplace programmes. The rationale for promoting VCT is to encourage testing. An uptake in testing offers a crucial benefit, participants become aware of their status, and in most instances this awareness leads to safer sexual practices which in turn help reduce the number of new infections. A dominate sequential explanatory mixed methodology was adopted for the study. However, the quantitative method was dominant in the mixed method. A sample size of 739 respondents responded to the flouted questionnaire during the quantitative phase. This was followed by the qualitative interview of which 14 participants answered the semi structured interview questions. The findings revealed that more respondents are aware of the availability of VCT sessions, when compared to the number of respondents who actually participated in the testing. It was further disclosed in the findings that awareness of the availability of VCT sessions at the university unfortunately does not amount to testing and thus does not result in the intended changes sought after by HEAIDS or the Department of Education. Research suggests that HEIs are not really helping students to realise their right to remain HIV negative. HEIs need to be concerned, and HIV/AIDS institutional offices, in particular, need to revisit the VCT with the intention of re-attracting student and staff participation

Full textAbstract:
Latar belakang dan tujuan: Layanan Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) merupakan suatu layanan untuk pencegahan HIV-AIDS yang bersifat sukarela. Namun, pemanfaatan secara langsung ke layanan VCT oleh pengguna napza suntik di Kabupaten Lombok Timur tergolong masih kurang. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui secara mendalam pengalaman pengguna napza suntik dalam pemanfaatan layanan VCT di Puskesmas Kabupaten Lombok Timur - NTB. Metode: Rancangan kualitatif dimana data dilakukan dengan teknik wawancara mendalam kepada 7 partisipan di Kabupaten Lombok Timur NTB. Partisipan dipilih secara purposive yang terdiri dari 5 orang penasun HIV negatif yang melakukan VCT ulang, 1 petugas LSM dan 1 penjangkau lapangan. Data dianalisis dengan pendekatan induktif dan disajikan secara naratif. Hasil: Berdasarkan hasil wawancara mendalam didapatkan bahwa pengalaman partisipan dalam pemanfaatan layanan VCT secara langsung masih kurang. 5 partisipan HIV negatif yang melakukan VCT ulang memanfaatkan layanan secara mobile VCT. Hal ini disebabkan partisipan masih merasa risih diperhatikan orang karena layanan VCT masih menggunakan labeling di luar ruangan sehingga partisipan malu untuk masuk ke ruangan tersebut. Simpulan: Pengalaman partisipan dalam memanfaatkan layanan secara langsung masih kurang dikarenakan partisipan merasa risih diperhatikan orang karena layanan VCT masih menggunakan labeling di luar ruangan di gedung puskesmas sehingga partisipan malu untuk masuk ke ruangan tersebut. sehingga diperlukan adanya kerjasama instansi kesehatan swasta, kader serta kelurahan untuk meningkatkan pemanfaatan layanan.
