Table 1.

Proportion accepting HIV test 2004 and 2006

Year of test Accepted test Refused test Not available Upper bound acceptance in 2006 Lower bound acceptance in 2006
2004 2894 291 474 0.909 0.791
2006 2748 228 483 0.923 0.794

Note: Refusal of tests were recorded by VCT counselors at the time of the testing. In 2004, VCT counselors also recorded if a respondent was absent, not found/unknown, or other, which we include in the code for `not available'; `not available' also includes those who were surveyed in 2004, but do not have an HIV test refusal or acceptance outcome. In 2006, this same standard of coding was not used; instead, we code `not available' as those who were surveyed in 2006, but did not have an HIV test refusal or acceptance code.
