In Uganda HCT began in 1990 with VCT as the main model of implementation. In 2002 the MoH planned to place high-quality VCT services within the reach of every Ugandan by developing the 1st VCT policy. This worked well but only a small percentage of the population accessed the services. With the advent of ART and evolution of new innovative approaches, HIV dynamism and international policies, there arose need to broaden the base of counseling and testing in order to meet these standards. Consequently, the HCT policy was developed in 2005.
