Ralph
R. Frerichs Fourth International Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific,
Manila,
Philippines, October 27, 1997
The
intent of this presentation was to offer alternatives to conventional VTC
(voluntary HIV testing and counseling) for detecting HIV infection in
Asia. VTC programs, as favored by UNAIDS and others, tend to be expensive
and limited in coverage. As a result, only a low percentage of HIV
infected persons in Asia are aware of their viral status. To increase coverage
without major government investment, alternative are suggested that rely on
rapid HIV tests, home collection and laboratory HIV testing, and home HIV
testing. To see the slide
