Supports scaling integrated screening in resource-limited settings; reinforces consensus on leveraging HIV platforms for NCD detection.
Integrating hypertension screening into existing HIV testing campaigns is a pragmatic and feasible approach to improve non-communicable disease detection in under-resourced urban settings.
Ana Munguambe (2002) conducted a review in HIV and hypertension. Integrated hypertension and HIV screening was evaluated on Operational feasibility and case-finding yield. Integrating hypertension screening into community-based HIV testing campaigns in informal settlements is operationally feasible and yields high rates of previously undiagnosed hypertension.
