The HIV epidemic is a major public health concern with over 40 million HIV infected people worldwide. HIV is transmitted through contact with blood and other body fluids. This includes unprotected sex, maternal transmission, the receipt of infected blood or blood products and injection drug use.
Considerable global efforts are currently underway to prevent and control the spread of HIV infection, and offer treatment to those who have been infected. HIV testing is fundamental to all of these strategies and efforts.
