Socioeconomic inequality in adults undertaking HIV testing over time in Ethiopia based on data from demographic and health surveys

202410 citationsOpen accessBahir Dar University

Abstract

The higher HIV testing coverage was among individuals with higher socioeconomic status in Ethiopia. Socioeconomic inequality amongst individuals undertaking HIV testing was diverging over time. Household wealth rank, mass media exposure, education status, and resident took the largest share in explaining the disparity in individuals undertaking HIV testing between the lower and higher income groups. Therefore, interventions to equalise HIV testing coverage should take account of these determinants.
