HIV testing in the community
Thanks for your great example of how building capacity and reaching communities where they are at may improve your programs' success rate, both in terms of the number of people being tested as well as the rate of which they obtain test results!
Have you experienced any challenges with HIV testing outside of a clinic setting? Do you or does anyone else have similar experiences from other countries? How do they compare?
