HIV testing positivity yield, PMTCT coverage, ARV distribution and couples tested for HIV (2019-2024), sourced from the Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC) via Tables 3.2.2-3.2.8 of the Rwanda Statistical Yearbook 2025. Covers four topics: hiv_testing (VCT positivity by sex, age group and province for the general population, and by province for pregnant women, including each age group's share of all tests from Table 3.2.8), pmtct (HIV+ pregnant women receiving ART, ART coverage rate, and HIV positivity among pregnant women and their partners), arv_distribution (percentage of ARV recipients by sex for adults and children, and by health facility type), and couples_tested (couples tested for HIV and found discordant, by VCT and PMTCT program, with site counts). Table 3.2.1 is omitted as fully redundant with Table 3.2.2.
