Background: Globally, 72 million of people tested HIV in 2010. In Tanzania, a total of 3.37
million people tested for HIV and received their results in 2012. During 2013, 1.3 million people
enrolled to CTC. Kisesa Ward has a population of 35,000 and 7% HIV prevalence. Among 1364
HIV positive people, only 169 enrolled to CTC in 2009. This study is estimating the uptake of
enrolment into CTC by those who are newly diagnosed with HIV and factors associated with the
enrollment. This is a key indicator in the UNAIDS global indicators for HIV treatment (see
Figure1).
Aim: To determine proportion of HIV positive people from VCT enrolled to CTC and factors
associated with enrollment among Magu residents of age 15 and above 2015/2016 during Sero 8
survey in Kisesa Ward
Methodology: Secondary data of a community-based longitudinal follow up study design will be
conducted at Kisesa Ward, following the Sero 8 survey within 6 months in the Kisesa cohort. All
HIV positive people from VCT aged 15 and above who are not enrolled in CTC, approximately ̴
400 will be included in the analysis. The follow up period was 1 year. Data will be analyzed in
STATA version 13. Bivariate logistic regression will be used to determine the unadjusted
estimates with P-value<0.05 as a cutoff point of significance. Multivariate models will be used to
assess odds ratio with their 95% confidence intervals to measure the strength of association.
Significance: The findings that will be generated from this study will help to determine
proportion of HIV positive people enrolled in CTC in serological-survey round 8 among Magu
residents which will help policy makers, so that more steps can be taken to promote enrollment
to CTC for HIV positive people in order to suppress viral load and to minimize HIV
transmission. |
