Geospatial and multilevel analysis of lifetime HIV testing uptake among high-risk adults in Mozambique: evidence from the 2022–2023 DHS
HIV testing uptake in Mozambique remains uneven across socio-demographic and geographic groups. Targeted and equity-focused interventions are needed to expand testing among adolescents, men, rural populations, and residents of northern and central provinces. Strengthening community-based testing services, improving health education, and addressing geographic barriers will be essential for accelerating progress toward national HIV control targets.
