Abstract
Uptake of HIV testing and counseling (HTC) is lower among members of the poorest households in sub-Saharan countries, thereby creating significant inequalities in access to HTC and possibly ARV treatment.
To measure uptake of home-based HTC and estimate HIV prevalence among members of the poorest households in a sub-Saharan population.
Residents of 6 villages of Likoma Island (Malawi) aged 18–35 and their spouses were offered home-based HTC services. Socioeconomic status, HIV testing history and HIV risk factors were assessed. Differences in HTC uptake and HIV infection rates between members of households in the lowest income quartile and the rest of the population were estimated using logistic regression.
Members of households in the lowest income quartile were significantly less likely to have ever used facility-based HTC services than the rest of the population (OR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.36–0.97). In contrast, they were significantly
HTC uptake was high during a home-based HTC campaign on Likoma Island, particularly among the poorest. Home-based HTC has the potential to significantly reduce existing socioeconomic gradients in HTC uptake, and help mitigate the impact of AIDS on the most vulnerable households.
