Undiagnosed HIV infection and couple HIV discordance among household members of HIV-infected people receiving antiretroviral therapy in Uganda

Article Abstract:

HIV-infected clients of an AIDS support organization were enrolled in a randomized evaluation of different antiretroviral therapy (ART) monitoring regimens that offered home-based ART care to them and their clinically eligible household members. Provision of home-based voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) to household members of people initiating ART was well accepted and resulted in the detection of a large number of previously undiagnosed HIV infections and HIV-discordant relationships.
