RISENGA, Patrone R.; DAVHANA-MASELESELE, Mashudu  y  OBI, Chikwelu L.. Voluntary counselling and testing for young adults in Limpopo Province - Counsellors' perceptions. Health SA Gesondheid (Online) [online]. 2013, vol.18, n.1, pp.1-11. ISSN 2071-9736.

Counselling and testing services for HIV have long been a component of HIV prevention and care programmes in developed countries and have proved to be a cost-effective way of reducing risky behaviours. It is, therefore, important to document the perceptions of voluntary counselling and testing counsellors towards the use of counselling and testing amongst young adults. The purpose of the study was to describe the perceptions of these counsellors dealing with young adults in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, where the study was conducted. Two themes emerged from the findings of the voluntary counselling and testing counsellors, namely that they feel that the programmes are inaccessible to young adults and that there are difficulties which might impact on the programmes' efficacy. The findings of this study should contribute to the reduction of HIV by promoting voluntary counselling and testing uptake by young adults.
