TY - JOUR AU - Strauss, Michael AU - Rhodes, Bruce AU - George, Gavin PY - 2015 DA - 2015/06/30 TI - A qualitative analysis of the barriers and facilitators of HIV counselling and testing perceived by adolescents in South Africa JO - BMC Health Services Research SP - 250 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - Youth in South Africa have been identified as a high-risk group for contracting HIV. In response, the South African Integrated School Health Policy (ISHP) has been developed with the aim of guiding the provision of comprehensive healthcare services within South African schools. Accordingly, the scale-up of HIV counselling and testing (HCT) in high schools is a priority. This study examines the factors affecting the utilisation of HCT services amongst learners in high schools in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa.
