Executive Summary
The east African country of Tanzania is in need of "high-quality and reliable" testing for HIV infection and for detection of the stages of AIDS, according to a recently published article in the Tanzania Health Research Bulletin (Volume 9, No 1 2007). Using a 2004-05 baseline survey of 12 labs from across the country, the bulletin states that the upgrade is essential if Tanzania is to continue scaling-up its services to prevent the HIV virus and treat people infected.
