在全世界估计有3300万艾滋病毒感染者中，只有10%的人知道自己的状况。艾滋病毒检测是防止进一步传播和照顾感染者的基石，特别是在资源有限的环境中获得治疗的机会有所改善的情况下。然而，通过在设施内进行检测来扩大检测范围的努力尚未实现充分的检测覆盖率，因此需要努力通过家庭艾滋病毒检测等战略来覆盖更多的个人。在一些高流行率、资源有限的环境中，家庭检测显示出有希望的早期结果。本文回顾了这种门到门的方法的机制和文献。
Among an estimated 33 million individuals who are infected with HIV worldwide, only 10% are aware of their status. HIV testing is the cornerstone to preventing further transmission and to caring for those infected, particularly as access to treatment improves in resource-limited settings. However, efforts to expand testing through facilities-based testing have not achieved adequate testing coverage, prompting efforts to reach more individuals through strategies such as home-based HIV testing. Home testing is showing promising early results in some high-prevalence, resource-limited settings. This article reviews the mechanisms and literature to date of this door-to-door approach.
