Expanded HIV Testing Eligibility Increases Detection of HIV Infections
Three counties in western Kenya with the highest HIV burden (Homa Bay, Siaya, and Kisumu) have struggled with identifying new HIV infections. To increase HIV testing services and the detection of HIV infections, 7 high-volume health facilities in western Kenya expanded HIV testing eligibility to now include clients who reported having a negative HIV test:
- In the past 3 to 12 months, or
- In the past 3 months or less if the negative test could not be verified by available health records.
