Lessons learned and opportunities
Moving the Mobile Screening Unit to the population encourages them to be screened.
The fact that the results are handed over on the spot significantly increases the rate of withdrawal of results and consequently the knowledge of one’s serological status, which conditions one’s future behaviour.
The nature of the result (HIV-negative) can significantly increase the number of people willing to be tested.
The respect of the appointment (date and time) by the Mobile Screening Unit with the sensitized populations can increase the number of people willing to know their serological status.
