    Open AccessLauren M Schwartz, Jane Mutanga et al.ARTICLESociological Methods & Research2021Referencias: 7

  • High acceptance of home-based HIV counseling and testing in an urban community setting in Uganda

    Open AccessJuliet N Sekandi, Hassard Sempeera et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Acceptance of home-based counseling and testing was relatively high in this urban setting.
