At VCT centers, visitors will receive professional counseling before and after the HIV test to prepare for and understand their test results.  VCT counselors will:

Explain about AIDS and how HIV is spread
Discuss the meaning of a positive test result
Describe how the test is done
Discuss about the test results and its impact on you, whether negative or positive

Those who test negative can learn ways to avoid becoming infected, and those who are positive can learn how to live longer, healthier lives and prevent transmission to others.
