In 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. Only 20 per cent of adults and 28 per cent of infants born from HIV-infected mothers are tested in a timely manner. The expansion of HIV testing is a prerequisite for reaching the World Health Organization's objective of universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care, and support as well as the Millennium Development Goals related to HIV/AIDS and child mortality. The successful Rwandan experience of scaling up early infant HIV diagnosis brings hope for many countries. specialized HIV testing diagnosis low- and middle-income countries TIERS MONDE 052 056 34 1 17-21 2013 0197-5897 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010059015 10.1057/jphp.2012.67 0197-5897 [F B010059015] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010059015 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2013/03/010059015.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2013-04-02 2017-08-23 fdi:010059015 fre
