South Africa: Durban's ante-natal clinic environment and its impact on a woman's choice to test for HIV during pregnancy.

Allison K Groves1, Cynthia Eyakuze.   

Abstract

Informed consent, counselling and confidentiality are key tenets of a human rights approach to HIV testing. In this article, based on an oral poster presentation at AIDS 2010, Allison K. Groves and Cynthia Eyakuze discuss the results of a study on HIV testing of women in ante-natal clinics in Durban, South Africa and how communication about testing may undermine the practice of obtaining informed consent.
