Abstract
Two country-wide surveys were undertaken to assess progress in scaling up human immunodeficiency virus/ acquired immune-deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and HIV-tuberculosis (TB) services in the public health sector in Malawi between 2002 and 2003. In 2003, 118 sites were performing counselling and HIV testing compared with 70 in 2002. There were 215 269 HIV tests carried out in 2003 compared with 149 540 in 2002, the largest increases being in pregnant women (from 5059 to 26791), patients with TB (from 2130 to 3983) and patients/clients attending health facilities (from 35 407 to 79 584). In 2003, 3703 patients with AIDS were started on antiretroviral therapy compared with 1220 patients in 2002.
