HIV Testing Services in ACE Fort

November 4, 2022

Baylor Uganda supported 151 Health facilities to provide highly targeted quality HIV testing services (HTS) with rapid or same-day linkage to ART.

We redistributed testing commodities (Rapid testing kits (RTKs), HIV-Syphilis duo, self-testing kits (STKs), and recency tests) for service continuity.

We implemented several interventions, including targeted mentorships on risk-based HTS to improve testing yield and reduce testing volume; implemented the MenStar strategy to identify high risk and HIV+ men; and optimized index testing and Social Network Strategies (SNS) for HIV+ children and adolescents’ case-finding. A total of 293,839 individuals were tested and received HIV results, of these, 7,401(2.5%) tested positive and 99.6% linked to treatment.
