Government To Introduce Door To Door HIV Testing

Government may soon introduce door to door HIV testing. Minister of Community Development, Mother and Child Health Emerine Kabanshi has called for door to door HIV/AIDS testing as nine out of 10 Zambians do not test at designated places for various reasons.
Speaking during the launch of the HIV testing week in Lusaka yesterday, Ms Kabanshi noted that HIV testing remains low and that “mobile door-to-door testing should be an answer to this problem”.
“While nine out 10 women and men know where to get tested, only 35 percent women and 20 percent men have been tested,” Ms Kabanshi said
