HIV Testing and Epidemiology in a Hospital-Based Surgical Cohort in Malawi

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Despite the high prevalence of HIV in adults (11 %) in Malawi, testing among surgical patients is not routine. We examined the feasibility of universal opt-out HIV testing and counseling (HTC) on the surgical wards of Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi, and sought to further delineate the role of HIV in surgical presentation and outcome.
