The results lead to a gap of 53% for men and 38% for women that needs HTC services. So, let us join together during this World AIDS Day to close the gap
Knowing one's status is the first step in getting to early treatment. Earlier testing leads to earlier diagnosis and better health outcomes. However, significant numbers of people living with HIV continue to present themselves for testing at a late stage, leading to adverse health outcomes.
