Heterogeneity in individual preferences for HIV testing: A systematic literature review of discrete choice experiments.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding variations in HIV testing preferences can help inform optimal combinations of testing services to maximize coverage. We conducted a systematic review of Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) eliciting HIV testing preference.
