Facility-based, cross-sectional study was conducted
and 423 TB patients interviewed. The prevalence of
self reported HIV testing among sampled TB patients
was 57%. Adjusted correlates of HIV testing include
primary education, being merchant, had moderate HIV
risk perception and high-HIV risk perception.
Patients who had willingness for PIHCT found more
likely to have been tested for HIV. While experiences
with client and provider-initiated HIV testing
overall were positive, 86.2% of the patients were
willing for PIHCT. The only adjusted correlates of
willingness for PIHCT were being older age group and
had demand for HIV testing.
Early evidence of widespread support for PIHCT and
moderate acceptance of HIV testing in this study
holds significant promise for the control, prevention
and treatment of HIV/AIDS and TB. Concerted efforts
to scale up PIHCT, however, must be accompanied by
intensive IEC on TB /HIV along with tackling of
testing barriers.
