  abstract = {{H}ow can national {AIDS} program managers in low- and middle-income countries improve the coverage of {HIV} testing? {I}n these countries heavily affected by {HIV}/{AIDS}, testing for {HIV} infection remains indeed critically infrequent with regard to its central role for individual care and control of the epidemic. {O}nly 20 per cent of adults and 28 per cent of infants born from {HIV}-infected mothers are tested in a timely manner. {T}he expansion of {HIV} testing is a prerequisite for reaching the {W}orld {H}ealth {O}rganization's objective of universal access to {HIV} prevention, treatment, care, and support as well as the {M}illennium {D}evelopment {G}oals related to {HIV}/{AIDS} and child mortality. {T}he successful {R}wandan experience of scaling up early infant {HIV} diagnosis brings hope for many countries.},
