Outcomes of interest include uptake of HIV testing, receipt of HIV tests, repeat HIV testing or retesting, 42 HIV incidence and HIV-related stigma.
We used semi-structured questionnaires to elicit information on the HBHCT processes, from mobilization to counseling, testing, receipt of results and post-test experiences (disclosure and access to services).
18– 22 The following markers of SES were tested: "receipt of beneficiaries of medical welfare for precarious persons", "employment", "education", "stay in institutions or prisons", "marital status", "income" and "ethnicity".
§Adjusted for random effects of physician and practice and for family history of prostate cancer, history of PSA testing, receipt of physician recommendation for testing, current plans for PSA testing, and patient approach to discussing PSA testing at next visit (as applicable after stepwise regression).
§Adjusted for random effects of physician and practice + family history of prostate cancer, history of PSA testing, receipt of physician recommendation for testing, current plans for PSA testing, and patient approach to discussing PSA testing at next visit (as applicable after stepwise regression).
The GRADE summary of findings table with patient important outcome and certainty estimates can be found in table 3. 44 61–63 The evidence for uptake of HIV testing, receipt of results and repeat testing were considered moderate quality because of randomisation and allocation concerns.
Timeliness of the following activities is appropriate for routine measurement as quality indicators for surveillance sites: data reporting, specimen shipment to the laboratory for testing, receipt of specimens by the laboratory, laboratory processing and testing of specimens, and reporting of laboratory results.
In spite of limited resources, uptake had clearly increased in the 38 sites since the introduction of the interventions, particularly in the case of acceptance of counseling and HIV testing, receipt of complete course of ARV prophylaxis, and referral for clinical care beyond PMTCT.
Since then, numerous approaches to HIV testing in the ED and ambulatory settings have already been implemented with varying degrees of reported success, measured by rates of test offering, test acceptance, receipt of test results, false-positive test results, cases identified, and confirmed linkage to appropriate care [8 23].
Rapid VCT showed large increase in update of testing and receipt of test results.
