This prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the ED in three hospitals in the Eastern Cape province between June 2017 and July 2018. Each hospital was sampled for a period of six weeks, during which all eligible patients, were approached study staff and offered point-of-care (POC) HIV testing. In addition, all previously known, and newly diagnosed HIV positive patients were requested to provide an additional blood sample for further laboratory testing.
