HIV/AIDS have become major public health problems in most of the
resource limited countries. There is growing body of evidence that
VCT has been effective for the primary prevention of HIV as well as
for treatment, care and support programme. Despite the very high
number of estimated people living with HIV/AIDS in resource limited
countries, VCT uptake is still a challenge. This book provides an
exploration of perceptions of community people, service providers
and people living with HIV on VCT in resource limited settings.
Although people have knowledge about HIV/AIDS and VCT, but because
of their own attitudes, beliefs, misconceptions, stigma and
discrimination, confidentiality and required cost, VCT uptake is
low. Motivation to service providers and social support to people
living with HIV will boost the VCT uptake. Research based IEC
activities will increase awareness about HIV/AIDS to reduce the
negative attitudes and misconceptions, fear, stigma and
discrimination. This book provides an excellent opportunity to
students, researchers and professionals seeking information on the
perceptions towards VCT in resource limited settings.
