Faraja Centre CBHC offers HIV Counseling and Testing to all who voluntarily come for it. The Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) program is done both at the Centre and in the villages as an outreach activity, when possible, targeting those that cannot reach the centre due to distance, time, fear or stigma, after awareness has been created. The VCT process consists of pre-test counseling, testing for HIV using a rapid test, post-test and follow-up counseling. HIV counseling is adapted to the needs of the client. It is offered to individuals, couples, families and even children, according to the set national guidelines.

VCT has a role in HIV prevention for those that are not infected, and is an entry point to care for those that are HIV infected. With the increase of VCT, fewer clients are diagnosed at a late stage so they tend to have better health even if they are not on ART. Emotional support is offered to all who test in order to facilitate decision-making following the test and to their family, friends and the community upon disclosure by the client. Faraja Centre has a good referral system for clients to access care and treatment, including antiretroviral therapy at Singida Regional Referral Hospital, Mangua Dispensary and Sokoine Health Centre.

Faraja CBHC VCT sends reports to the District AIDS Control Coordinator (DACC) every month and to the Council HIV and AIDS Coordinator (CHAC) using a tool known as Tanzania Output Monitoring System for HIV and AIDS (TOMSHA) provided by TACAIDS, on a quarterly basis.
