AB  - Beginning in 2003, Uganda used Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) to assist 
      district managers collect and use data to improve their human immunodeficiency 
      virus (HIV)/AIDS program. Uganda's LQAS-database (2003-2012) covers up to 73 of 
      112 districts. Our multidistrict analysis of the LQAS data-set at 2003-2004 and 
      2012 examined gender variation among adults who ever tested for HIV over time, 
      and attributes associated with testing. Conditional logistic regression matched 
      men and women by community with seven model effect variables. HIV testing 
      prevalence rose from 14% (men) and 12% (women) in 2003-2004 to 62% (men) and 80% 
      (women) in 2012. In 2003-2004, knowing the benefits of testing (Odds Ratio 
      [OR] = 6.09, 95% CI = 3.01-12.35), knowing where to get tested (OR = 2.83, 95% 
      CI = 1.44-5.56), and secondary education (OR = 3.04, 95% CI = 1.19-7.77) were 
      significantly associated with HIV testing. By 2012, knowing the benefits of 
      testing (OR = 3.63, 95% CI = 2.25-5.83), where to get tested (OR = 5.15, 95% 
      CI = 3.26-8.14), primary education (OR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.39-2.91), being female 
      (OR = 3.03, 95% CI = 2.53-3.62), and being married (OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.17-2.8) 
      were significantly associated with HIV testing. HIV testing prevalence in Uganda 
      has increased dramatically, more for women than men. Our results concurred with 
      other authors that education, knowledge of HIV, and marriage (women only) are 
      associated with testing for HIV and suggest that couples testing is more 
      prevalent than other authors.
