ASUTA partners with the Bagamoyo District AIDS Coordinator to run weekly mobile testing at Mbweni and Mlandizi truck stages.

01

Site choice

Mbweni and Mlandizi were both flagged as high-density trucking nodes with documented FSW presence. Mobile testing met drivers and FSW at the stage — a population that almost never presents to facility services.

02

Quarter-one yield

412 tests, 26 new positives. Linkage to ART within 14 days reached 81%, supported by direct escort from peer navigators.
