  VCT

• Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) is an important component of any HIV/AIDS control and prevention activities. VCT makes people aware of their HIV serostatus and enables early identification of those who need care. It is an important link to HIV care and support. The main aim of this study is to describe the HIV burden at VCT and define the relationship between the VCT Center and the HIV Chronic Care Clinic of the University of Gondar (UoG) Hospital.
• Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) allows individuals to learn their HIV status through pre- and post-test counseling and an HIV test. VCT is client-initiated, as opposed to provider-initiated testing and counseling (PITC) when health care providers initiate discussion of HIV testing with clients who are seeking health care for other reasons.
• VCT can be provided through stand-alone clinics or offered through community-based approaches, such as mobile or home-based HIV testing. In addition, counseling for VCT may take place at the individual, couple, or group level. VCT was originally implemented as an individual-level, clinic-based procedure. Different modalities evolved, including communitybased and couple-based approaches, to increase access and uptake.
