Description
Gabalape Arnold Sejie and co-authors model in 2026 what blocks HIV testing among teens and young adults at a private college in Botswana, where uptake stays low. Their survey drew 353 students by random picks, and 229 told of a test in the past 12 months for this study.
Casual ties, homes more than five kilometres from a test site, and living with a partner all tracked with missed tests. Faith group also shaped the odds in the model, with each named group showing higher missed test odds than non believers. Oddly, poor views of testing tracked with less missed testing in the data. Tailored fixes for reach and culture could lift uptake toward 2030 goals.
