Abstract

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.
