Abstract: Objective: To evaluate linkage-to-care and retention in care of clients of Actuel sur Rue (AsR), a rapid HIV testing facility. Methods: Data was collected at AsR (July 2012 to November 2013) from a counseling questionnaire and a client-administered questionnaire. Results: 1311 AsR clients received a rapid HIV test, and 28 (2%) tested positive. All but 4 were successfully linked and 17 were successfully retained in care. An additional 11 clients were already diagnosed with HIV, 4 of whom sought linkage to a clinic. Conclusion: AsR demonstrated great potential for HIV testing, linking, and re-engaging people living with HIV in care. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
