Malawi Stan Becker Bachelor's in Public Health Studies, School of Arts and Sciences In this study, we will investigate the following research questions: what is the ratio of households needed to visit to find one eligible couple for subsequent couple’s voluntary counseling and testing (CVCT) for HIV? What is the proportion, among eligible couples, of those who consent to participate in CVCT? Who did not consent to CVCT and what are their reasons for refusal? Clinical studies have shown that CVCT is a cost-effective way of preventing HIV and unwanted pregnancy. This study seeks to analyze how one can apply the clinical evidence to door-to-door services.
