The evaluation revealed that the EID surveillance system is functional and operates a passive type of surveillance using the bottom-to-top approach in data transmission. The surveillance data collected for the period of 2017 to 2022 revealed HIV prevalence rates among HEIs of 2.5% (2017), 1.3% (2018), 1.4% (2019), 1.4% (2020), and 0.5% (2021). The   system was found to be useful, simple, flexible, acceptable, and sensitive by detecting 3298 HEIs tested for HIV with 45 (1,4%) HIV confirmed positive. However, it lacks stability, and representativeness is limited by the non-inclusion of private health facilities.
