dc.description.abstract	According to the South African UNGASS report for 2006-20071, the international protocol on HIV testing, including rapid tests is used at South African health facilities. During 2006/2007, 1 610 775 men and women were tested at public health facilities. Approximately 578 0002 pregnant women were tested in 2007. The majority (90%) attending VCT services receive their results the same day. Post-test counselling is offered routinely and clients are offered a confirmatory rapid test where results are positive.	en
