Barriers and enablers that influence the uptake of HIV testing among heterosexual migrants in the Netherlands
Factors contributing to a low HIV test uptake were participants' perception of limited accessibility of CSH facilities, insufficient available information on HIV (testing) services, and low perception of HIV risk. Unclear policies on accessing HIV/STI testing services at CSHs, and potential missed opportunities for HIV testing at general practitioners were contributing factors identified by key informants.
