Characteristics of clinic attendees interviewed at intervention and control sites, PITC study, Rwanda, 2009–10.

<p>PITC: provider initiated testing and counselling; IQR: Inter-quartile range; OPD: out-patient department; FP: family planning; VCT: Voluntary counseling and testing; ANC: Antenatal care; TB: tuberculosis.</p><p>P values are based on the chi-squared test, except comparison of age (based on rank sum test).</p><p>Phase 1: before PITC was implemented; Phase 3: after PITC was implemented (at the intervention sites).</p

Proportions of health care facility attendees who were tested on day of interview, tested for HIV before and had ever been tested”, by clinic department for the intervention and control sites, PITC study, Rwanda, 2009–10.

<p>Intervention: intervention sites; Control: control sites; PITC: provider initiated testing and counselling; Phase 1: before PITC; Phase 3: PITC phase; OPD: outpatient department; FP: family planning; VCT: voluntary counseling and testing; ANC: antenatal care; TB: tuberculosis. Note: for this table we assumed that the patients of whom information on HIV testing on date of interview (n = 61; 56 from OPD and 5 from FP) or ever before (n = 4; all from OPD) was lacking, had not been tested. “Ever tested for HIV” means being tested for HIV on day of interview, or having been tested for HIV before, or both.</p
