Tools for evaluating HIV voluntary counselling and testing

Rachel Baggaley of WHO presented a document which provides guidance on monitoring and evaluation of various aspects of planning and implementation of VCT. It provides tools for the evaluation of VCT as part of a national programme, as well as VCT services at specific institutions, independent sites and services for special groups, including community-based NGOs. It includes monitoring and evaluation of VCT services associated with PMTCT and tuberculosis preventive therapy. The document revises and adapts previous draft guidelines and incorporates relevant operational research findings.
