While the aims of this project were to test different recruitment strategies and to propose a protocol for ongoing HIV awareness and testing at St. Anthony's Foundation through St. Anthony Medical Clinic. Methods: A key informant interview was conducted to assess the acceptability and feasibility of HIV voluntary counseling and testing among clients of St. Anthony's Foundation. Strategies for recruitment of participants was developed and implemented. Two hundred and five individuals were approached for HIV counseling and testing, and HIV testing was carried out on those who accepted. Result: Of the 205 individuals spoken to, seven carried out HIV testing and there was 14.28% seropositive in the population, within the ages of 30-39, homosexual, had multiple sex partners and injection drug user. One hundred percent of participants reported ever having sex without a condom while 28.58% reported ever using PrEP for prevention. Discussion: Voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) is a good tool for knowledge of HIV status and prevention. However, good strategies for recruiting this population is important for the success of VCT in any given population. Conclusion: The importance of HIV voluntary counseling and testing among various populations in society can never be overemphasized. The HIV prevalence in this population shows that there are hidden positive cases among hard to reach populations.

Download or read book Evaluating the National HIV Counseling and Testing (CT) Program of St. Lucia written by Anjabebu S. Asrat and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents findings from an evaluation of the national HIV counseling and testing program of St. Lucia. The research methods used include: semi-structured interviews, written document analysis, record reviews, and participant observations. Findings from the study will support decision making to assist in the improvement and expansion of CT service provision in the country. The findings from this research provide evidence that there are many gaps in the national program. The major gaps include: 1) the lack of a full time coordinator to manage the CT program, 2) inadequate CT data collection, analysis, and use for decision making, 3) the absence of accurate denominator data (total tests conducted) from all sites providing CT services, 4) incomplete antenatal testing data, 5) absence of a training needs assessment or training plan, 6) shortages of personnel at all levels, 7) inadequate referral networks and linkages to support services for People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), 8) insufficient prioritization of the labs in all areas of planning, budgeting, personnel, renovations/refurbishments, training, and storage needs, 9) lack of adherence to national, regional, and international guidelines in rapid test use, 10) lack of evaluation of testing promotions and campaigns to determine reach, 11) inadequate space and infrastructure for CT service provision, and 12) insufficient inclusion of the private sector into all areas of the national program including dissemination of protocols, data collection forms, reporting structures, and training. Detailed and specific recommends are made to address each of the identified gaps. In summary, these recommendations are that: 1) a full time coordinator is recruited for the national level for oversight and coordination, 2) new data collection instruments and processes for recording and reporting CT are developed, 3) all facilities conducting testing are required and supported to report to the national level, 4) systems are put in place to capture pregnant women and ensure that they are tested, receive their results, and that these are reported accordingly, 5) training needs and a training plan are developed and used to identify and train relevant staff, 6) additional personnel are hired to meet all needs including lab personnel, 7) referral networks are strengthened to ensure a continuum of care for patients in need, 8) labs are included during planning processes, 9) national guidelines are disseminated, 10) promotional efforts are evaluated, 11) infrastructure for CT service provision are improved, and 12) the private sector is included into all areas of the national program.
