Factors Affecting Voluntary HIV/AIDS Counseling and Testing Service Utilization Among Youth in Gondar City, Northwest Ethiopia.

Low use of VCTs, which was far away from the 90:90:90 WHO goal, has been noted. The use of VCT services was associated with having peer groups that used VCT, having a partner, wanting to have VCT in the future, knowing the infected/dead individual with HIV/AIDS, fear of confidentiality of results, knowing the test sites, and having awareness of VCT. Efforts are needed to strengthen the health system that also needs to pay attention to education about HIV and VCT.
