HTC coverage is relatively low—compared to ART and PMTCT. Providerinitiated testing and counseling (PITC) should be expanded to all public
health facilities of every country
Countries should not lose momentum of ART and PMTCT scale-up and
have to continue or even increase the level of effort until Universal Access
targets are fully achieved.
Expansion of infant diagnosis, care and treatment for infected children
Invest and strengthen strategic information, particularly in methods of
understanding the dynamics of specific country’s epidemics and its drivers
Develop strategies of scaling up male circumcision, particularly in
Southern Africa
Furthermore, promote coordination and harmonization of Programmes
and Partnerships through multi-sectoral and integrated approach.
Regional Economic Communities and Regional Health Organizations
Development partners and International Organizations to continue and
sustain their financial and technical support to countries in Africa in order
to attain Universal Access
Promote coordination, harmonization of Regional and Continental
strategies including inter-country programmes
