Eswatini Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment 2021

SHIMS 3, an Eswatini Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (PHIA), was a household-based national survey among adults (defined as those aged 15 years and older) to measure the impact of the national HIV response. Conducted from May 2021 through November 2021, SHIMS 3 offered HIV counseling and testing with return of results and collected information about uptake of HIV care and treatment services. Of 6,485 eligible households, 83.2% completed a household interview. Among 14,010 eligible adults (7,697 women and 6,313 men), 12,043 (6,985 women and 5,058 men) were interviewed and tested for HIV. The overall response rate for adults was 66.5%: 70.7% for women and 61.3% for men.
