Sociodemographic inequalities in the uptake of prenatal HIV testing in Ethiopia: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In order to attain the ambitious 95-95-95 UNAIDS goals, HIV testing serves as the pivotal starting point and plays a crucial role in preventing, treating, and managing HIV. Equal access to HIV testing is crucial to stop the spread of the virus. Measuring healthcare disparities is vital for promoting fairness in health services and achieving global goals for HIV prevention and treatment. Ethiopia is actively engaged in efforts to achieve these goals and is dedicated to combating HIV/AIDS. To the best of our knowledge, no previous systematic review or meta-analysis has been conducted on sociodemographic inequalities in prenatal HIV testing in Ethiopia. Hence, this study aims to assess sociodemographic inequalities in prenatal HIV testing in Ethiopia.
