The review by Narasimhan et al. compares family planning (FP) services with integrated HIV testing services (HTS) to those without integrated HTS or with a lower level of integration on the following outcomes:uptake/counseling/offer of HTS, new cases of HIV identified, linkage to HIV care and treatment, dual method use, client satisfaction and service quality, and provider knowledge and attitudes about integrating HTS. The evidence base suggests that integration of HTS into FP services is feasible and has potential for positive joint outcomes, but the success and scale-up of this approach will depend on population needs and health system factors(2019).
