HIV screening in men and women in Senegal: coverage and associated factors; analysis of the 2017 demographic and health survey

Abstract

Although HIV remains a public health threat, HIV testing's prevalence is still low in Senegal, making it difficult to interrupt the transmission chain within the community and to reach the UNAIDS goal for 2020 of "90-90-90". Innovative community-based strategies are needed to address barriers and improve access to HIV testing in Senegal, particularly for men and for the youngest and poorest populations.
