<p>Background:<strong>&nbsp;</strong>Human immune Virus is a global public health threat, with 39 million people living with the virus in 2022, with 14% unaware and needing HIV testing. Index case testing enhances HIV testing by increasing positivity yields in HIV-infected individuals, especially newly diagnosed or virally unsuppressed, and improving preventive treatment adoption among HIV-negative contacts. Therefore, the study is needed to estimate the proportion of index case testing among HIV patients and the factors influencing their uptake of index case HIV testing services, but the proportion of acceptance of index case HIV testing is unknown.&nbsp;</p>
