A random coefficient logistic regression model was used. Separate models were performed for participants who regularly took HIV tests under the status quo and those who had not tested. All attributes were adjusted for in models.
The status quo was finger prick point-of-care HIV testing performed in the facility VCT office for regular testers and not testing for nonregular testers.
OPD, outpatient department; SE, standard error; VCT, voluntary counseling and testing.
