Marital status, age, education, and wealth were significantly associated with lifetime HIV testing uptake among women in all four countries. Other factors (e.g., comprehensive knowledge of HIV, rural\/urban residence, positive attitudes towards negotiation for safer sex) were also significant determinants of HIV testing uptake among women in some of these countries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A multi-sectoral collaboration of related sectors and organizations is necessary to increase access to HIV testing and HIV knowledge of women to overcome the barriers to HIV testing.
