Promotion of HIV testing: Know-your-status
Many people do not want to know their status, for fear of a positive result, stigma and discrimination, and losing employment, as well as the lack of access to treatment. In 2002, UNAIDS and WHO recognised the importance of knowing your status. They emphasise the need to enhance testing and counselling programmes, and to improve programmes for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission and the provision of general health care services, especially in areas where HIV prevalence is high.
