Description
Boniface G Centa, Godfrey Kacholi and Henry Mollel evaluate linkage from HIV testing to treatment in Morogoro, Tanzania, in a 2026 mixed-methods study. Registers for nearly four hundred people diagnosed between January 2024 and February 2025 supplied linkage rates, then interviews with six testing providers explored what helped or blocked the path into care. Rapid treatment start is central to epidemic control, so the handoff after a positive test is a critical weak point.
Nine in ten clients linked to care, and nearly all of those started on the same day as diagnosis. Strong counseling before and after testing and positive provider relationships were named as key facilitators. Remaining barriers are detailed from provider accounts. Same-day systems appear workable at scale in this region.
