What's New in HIV Testing and Counseling

[Guest guest]

AIDSTAR-One's HIV testing and counseling update ( http://j.mp/yal2D9 )

provides summaries and abstracts of recent articles on global HIV

testing and counseling (HTC) issues. Recently featured articles include

contributions from BMC Public Health, The Lancet Infectious Diseases,

Sexually Transmitted Infections, and more.

Home-based HIV testing and counseling (HBHTC) is a new, innovative HIV

testing model that expands HTC into communities and households by

offering HTC services in a client's home. Here, AIDSTAR-One provides

HBHTC resources including a selection of literature, HBHTC tools, case

studies, and reports for program implementers: http://j.mp/zPU5e3

Case Study – Getting in the Door: Home-based HIV Testing and

Counseling in Kenya

By using rapid tests, HIV programs are able to offer HTC services to

individuals and families within the privacy and convenience of their own

homes. This case study from Kenya provides program planners,

implementers, and decision makers with examples of strategies and

approaches for ensuring quality in HBHTC: http://j.mp/xnytNy

Summaries of home-based HIV testing and counseling research and tools

Report – South-to-South Technical Assistance: Swaziland

A south-to-south (S2S) approach leverages expertise from one developing

country to build local capacity in another. This report explores

AIDSTAR-One's first S2S technical assistance to Swaziland, which was

seeking to pilot test home-based HIV testing and counseling. Expert

trainers from The AIDS Support Organization (TASO) in Uganda, pioneers

in HBHTC, led Swaziland through technical training that enabled a

successful six-month HBHTC pilot project: http://j.mp/wEr2ay
