Voluntary counselling and testing – Emerging approaches from Asia and Eastern Europe

Voluntary counselling and testing: Emerging approaches from Asia and Eastern Europe (English) 237.2Kb
Voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) is increasingly recognised as a crucial component of effective strategies for HIV/AIDS prevention and care. However, these initiatives have been slower to develop in Asia and Eastern Europe, and there has been a shortage of good practice models.

This report draws from a workshop hosted by KHANA, the Alliance’s linking organisation in Cambodia, bringing together participants from various Alliance linking organisations and country offices, representatives from other organisations working in the region, and donors such as UNICEF and USAID. It presents participants’ experiences of VCT and shares good practice and next steps for the Alliance and others – in particular, the need for VCT that is integrated with mainstream services, community driven and focused on the individual.
