我们在乌干达纳基瓦莱难民安置点实施并评估了基于诊所的常规自愿艾滋病毒检测干预措施。比较 SOC 期（40 天）和干预期（168 天），每周发现的平均 HIV 感染者从 0.9 增加到 5.6，两个时期的 HIV 感染率没有显着差异（标准护理：3.3%，干预：4.5%；p > 0.5）。在难民安置点进行基于临床的常规艾滋病毒检测是有效的，应考虑在撒哈拉以南非洲其他高流行地区的难民安置点实施。
We implemented and evaluated a clinic-based routine voluntary HIV testing intervention in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda. Comparing the SOC period (40 days) to the Intervention period (168 days), the mean HIV-infected clients identified per week increased from 0.9 to 5.6, and there was no significant difference between the HIV prevalence in the two periods (standard of care: 3.3%, intervention: 4.5%; p > 0.5). Clinic-based routine HIV testing in a refugee settlement is effective and should be considered for implementation in refugee settlements in other high prevalence regions in sub-Saharan Africa.
