Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) diagnosis remains the gateway to HIV care and treatment. However, due changes in prevalence testing coverage across different geopolitical zones, it is crucial evaluate national algorithm as false positivity low could be detrimental both client service delivery. Therefore, we evaluated performance of rapid using specimens collected from multiple services (HTS) sites compared results levels six zones Nigeria. The evaluation employed a dual approach,...
