Identifying at risk Populations and HIV/AIDS Referral Services

Identifying at risk Populations and HIV/AIDS Referral Services: Baseline Assessment for Mobile Counseling and Testing Program in the Oromiya Region of Ethiopia. The objective of this assessment was to identify the size and distribution of the populations most at risk for HIV disease in the major towns of Oromiya region, which are located along the busiest roads in Ethiopia. It also sought to describe the interaction between populations. The resultant information will help in designing mobile HIV counseling and testing (HCT) services that are effectively linked to the ongoing community- and facility-based HIV continuum of care as well as in developing feasible strategies for increasing the demand for and access to mobile HCT services to most at-risk populations (MARPs) in the study towns.
