14.1.2 Coverage for HIV Testing by ResidenceTables 14.3 <strong>and</strong> 14.4 summarise coverage rates for HIV testing in the <strong>2001</strong>-<strong>2002</strong> Z<strong>DHS</strong> by residence.Overall, three out of every four eligible individuals were tested for HIV.Women in the Z<strong>DHS</strong> were slightly more likely to have been tested than men (79 percent versus73 percent). The coverage rate among women eligible for HIV testing in the <strong>2001</strong>-<strong>2002</strong> Z<strong>DHS</strong> fallswithin the range reported in the population-based survey used to calibrate the ANC sentinel surveillancesystem. The acceptance rate for voluntary participation in that study varied from 70-90 percent amongwomen (Fylkesnes et al., 1999).Table 14.3 Coverage for HIV testing by urban-ruralresidence (unweighted)Percent distribution of de facto women <strong>and</strong> men eligiblefor HIV testing by testing status, according to urban-ruralresidence, <strong>Zambia</strong> <strong>2001</strong>-<strong>2002</strong>ResidenceTesting status Urban Rural TotalWomen 15-49Tested 79.5 79.3 79.4Refused 15.6 15.7 15.7Absent/other 3.3 2.9 3.0Interviewed in <strong>DHS</strong> 1.8 0.7 1.1Not interviewed in <strong>DHS</strong> 1.5 2.2 2.0Result missing 1.6 2.1 1.9Total 100.0 100.0 100.0Unweighted number 873 1,816 2,689Men 15-59Tested 66.5 76.8 73.3Refused 16.2 14.3 14.9Absent/other 13.1 5.5 8.1Interviewed in <strong>DHS</strong> 3.4 0.9 1.7Not interviewed in <strong>DHS</strong> 9.7 4.6 6.3Result missing 4.2 3.4 3.7Total 100.0 100.0 100.0Unweighted number 814 1,604 2,418Total 15-49Tested 73.3 78.1 76.5Refused 15.8 15.0 15.3Absent/other 8.1 4.2 5.5Interviewed in <strong>DHS</strong> 2.6 0.8 1.4Not interviewed in <strong>DHS</strong> 5.5 3.4 4.1Result missing 2.8 2.7 2.7Total 100.0 100.0 100.0Unweighted number 1,631 3,297 4,928Prevalence of HIV <strong>and</strong> Syphilis | 227
