The results indicate that the proportion of people who previously used VCT services in the Kenge health zone in 2016 would be 14 per thousand (14%). This utilization rate of VCT services would be lower than the national average of 1.5 % in 2013, 3.1% in 2014 and 3% in 2015 while the coverage rate for CVD services is 22.7%. In addition, there are five VCTs on a set of 23 health training courses (FOSA). Finally, there is a significant relationship between the rate of VCT use in the Kenge Health Zone and socio-economic and organizational factors, including marital status, age, household size, and knowledge of community health. where the VCT is located. Based on these results, it can be concluded that HIV prevalence is above the national average in the Kenge Health Zone. It could be closely linked to the low use of VCT services.
