HIV voluntary counseling and testing uptake in Ethiopia is still low and varies across the regions, which might hamper the ambitious plan of Ethiopia to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. Therefore, giving due consideration to scale up HIV knowledge to avoid risky sexual behavior, improving access to health insurance and media, and working on the significant modifiable sociodemographic determinants are worthy to boost HIV voluntary counselling and testing uptake, which is an integral component of the strategies to efficiently prevent and control HIV.
