Article Synopsis
- HIV testing and counselling (HTC) is crucial for controlling HIV/AIDS and helping people understand their status, particularly in Africa where many remain unaware of their infection.
- A study conducted in south-east Nigeria utilized on-site intervention strategies, such as training counselors and hosting awareness events, resulting in a significant increase in HTC service uptake and improved knowledge about HIV among military community members.
- The results showed a dramatic rise in HTC uptake from 41.1% to 81.1% and HIV knowledge from 35.4% to 98.8%, suggesting that these interventions can effectively enhance awareness and alter risky sexual behaviors in high-risk populations.
