| Counselling
and Testing |
HIV/AIDS
Counselling and Testing (CT) is the process
through which an individual is confidentially
counselled and tested for HIV. CT encompasses
encouragement counselling for testing,
behaviour change counselling, on-going supportive
counselling for those who already know their
HIV status and care counselling for those requiring
or attending treatment, care and support.
In Malawi, there are three models of CT approved
by the Ministry of Health namely; Voluntary
Counselling and Testing (VCT), Routine Counselling
and Testing (RCT) and Diagnostic Counselling
and Testing (DCT). Other forms of HIV
testing such as life insurance eligibility,
pre-employment screening, eligibility for pre-education
scholarship, and legal purposes are not included
in CT.
Voluntary Counselling
and Testing
is one model of CT where the
individual to be counselled and tested voluntarily
seeks to know his/her HIV status and without
coercion or proxy proceeds to receive confidential
counselling and testing for HIV.
VCT involves pre-test counselling to prepare
and encourage the
client for testing; HIV testing to determine
the client’s serostatus;
and post-test counselling to tell the client
of his/her serostatus as well as helping the
client make future lifestyle plans. Consent
is always sought for testing while pre-test
and post-test counselling are mandatory to all
who choose to be tested. VCT being
voluntary, clients can decide not to be tested
if not ready even after being pre-test counselled,
or not to know their result even after being
tested.
In VCT, pre-test counselling focuses on information
giving on HIV infection, implication of a positive
or negative result, risk assessment and obtaining
consent for testing. Post-test ounselling
on the other hand reinforces behaviour change,
provides support and discusses appropriate referrals.
There may also be supportive counselling focused
on some clients who may come to VCT for
information on HIV/AIDS or for ongoing counselling
support.
In Malawi, VCT services should be offered to
both individuals and
couples voluntarily seeking to be tested for
HIV. Shared confidentiality through partner
disclosure and couple counselling is encouraged
in order to promote partner protection and encourage
mutual support.
VCT is available at 184 sites in Malawi (May
205)
