- W2418658493 abstract "Introduction HIV remains the leading cause of death among Malawian adults. Nationally, 72% of women and 51% of men report having had an HIV test. In the Central Region, 9% of women and 6% of men are estimated to be HIV-infected. Making the decision to be tested and treated for HIV would be critical to implementation of the treatment-as-prevention approach to HIV control. Methods Using a standardised instrument and electronic data capture, our research program, Umoyo wa Thanzi (UTHA, Health for Life ), interviewed reproductive-age women (n = 1030) and their male partners (n = 442) living in rural Lilongwe District. We assessed relationships between decision-making factors and timing of the most recent HIV test. Results Both HIV knowledge and HIV testing access were high, although women differed from men. The majority (73%) knew that people with HIV may appear well (women 70%, men 80%, p = 0.001) and (88%) knew that condom use prevents HIV transmission (women 86%, men 91%, p = 0.004). Ninety percent reported ever having tested for HIV, and recent testing was more common in women: 65% of women and 59% of men had been tested in the past year (p = 0.019). Fewer women (74%) than men (89%) knew that their partner had tested (p Conclusion Women had and men had differential HIV knowledge and decision-making influences in rural Malawi, though these did not predict differential testing behaviours. Planned work by our team includes comprehensive, community-based HIV testing; such testing will be accompanied by referrals for ART. Disclosure of interest statement The authors have no conflicts of interest or financial disclosures to report." @default.
