Factors associated with unawareness of HIV-positive status among individuals aged ≥ 15 years in Tanzania: Evidence from the Tanzania HIV Impact Survey 2022–2023
Despite robust HIV case-finding interventions in Tanzania, 1 in 6 PLHIV were unaware of their HIV-positive status. Targeted HIV case-finding interventions should continue with a focus on reaching men and young people who were more likely to be unaware of their status. HIV prevention strategies, such as condom use, remain crucial, since individual behaviors were linked to awareness of HIV status.
