| Summary, etc. | Abstract: <br/><br/>Background: Provider-initiated testing and counseling (PITC) is a routine HIV testing and counseling which was adopted in Tanzania in 2007 and rolled out in all healthcare facilities throughout the country. This study aimed at assessing the awareness, practice and barriers to PITC among health workers at Sekou Toure regional hospital since its adoption. <br/><br/>Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted between August and September, 2015 at Sekou Toure regional hospital in Mwanza. A self-administered questionnaire was provided to eligible participants and collected after 48 hours from the day of provision. Data was entered into a word excel sheet and then analyzed using statistical package for social science (SPSS) program version 17.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA).<br/><br/>Results: A total of 150 subjects were interviewed in which most of the participants were females 87 (58%) and registered nurses by profession 84 (56.0%). Majority of 124 (82.7%) got correct in explaining what is PITC and only 8 (5.3%) got incorrect in explaining what is PITC. 81 (54.0%) have been trained on PITC, 140 (93.3%) ever did PITC in their ward but only 69 (46.0%) knows the 3c’s of PITC. Barriers to PITC were reported to be as most of them said no to absence of test kits and supplies 140 (93.3%), 142 (94.7%) said no not enough space, 77 (51.3%) said yes on absence of PITC guideline, 141 (94.0%) said no time consuming, 144 (96.0%) said no to not relevant to the visit of the client, 138 (92.0%) said no to too many patients, 89 (59.3%) said no special training on PITC and 34 (26.0%) reported to have few health care provider. <br/><br/>Conclusion: Despite PITC being an effective strategy for increasing access to HIV testing and the majority of healthcare providers being aware of it, potential barriers for its implementation should be addressed in order to diagnose HIV infection in early stages. <br/><br/><br/> |
