This article evaluates the cost effectiveness of facility-and home-based voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) in rural Uganda. A cost analysis using the “ingredients” approach and based on a programmatic perspective. Effectiveness was measured as the number of HIV sero-positive case identified. Home based VCT was the least costly strategy per client tested and was also cost effective in identifying HIV sero-positive clients in rural areas. This strategy should therefore be promoted to improve service coverage and thereby facilitate early and extensive detection of clients eligible for treatment.
