Reach, Acceptability, Feasibility and Impact of a Brief Community Health Worker‐Administered Index Case Testing Screening Tool “cICT” on Paediatric HIV Case Identification: Results From Malawi

The cICT was acceptable and feasible to implement, revealing nearly a quarter of WLHIV had children with unknown HIV status. The tool's simplicity and scalability make it a high-impact approach for HIV programmes to quantify, track and confirm the status of HIV-exposed untested children and facilitate timely identification of CLHIV by embedding ICT screening within routine ART care for WLHIV.
