Spatial variation of HIV testing and associated factors among pregnant women: a Spatial and multilevel analysis, DHS of sub-Saharan African countries

The prevalence of HIV testing among pregnant women was lower than expected by Sustainable Development Goal's 3 targets. Hotspot analysis indicates that most western African countries were areas of low HIV testing. Both individual and community level factors were found to be associated with HIV testing uptake significantly. Therefore, giving special attention for pregnant women in hotspot areas of SSA could increase HIV testing uptake.
