One of the critical areas necessary to
effectively counter the spread of HIV/Aids is the Voluntary
Counseling and Testing service that is geared towards
determining a person’s HIV status. This runs simultaneously with
providing counseling that is consistent with the result of a
test to promote behavioral change. We have begun consultations
with the Department of Health at a regional level to provide the
necessary framework for operations to take place. We have
started offering on-going counseling specifically for this
service and the list for people requesting testing continues to
grow every week.
