HIV Testing Coverage and Positivity Trends 2019-2023
URL: (Login Required) Click to Access
Annual HIV testing data spanning 2019-2023 showing comprehensive testing service performance including total number of people tested, HIV positive cases identified, and HIV positivity rates. Enables trend analysis of HIV testing coverage expansion, case finding efficiency, and epidemiological surveillance over the five-year period.
Data structure includes: - Annual time series from 2019 to 2023 - Total number of people tested for HIV - Number of HIV positive cases identified - HIV positivity rate (percentage of positive tests) - Trend analysis capability for program monitoring
