Proportion and risk factors associated with ‘never been tested for HIV’ among women of reproductive age in Tanzania: evidence from the 2022 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey
This current study identified several factors associated with never being tested for HIV among WRA. To enhance HIV testing uptake in this population, government and public health stakeholders should design targeted interventions that address these determinants, particularly by improving access to education, promoting health awareness and integrating HIV testing into routine reproductive health services.
