Includes abstract. / Includes bibliographical references. / The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of the IPCF in improving identification of HIV positive children. Contrary to other two traditional approaches for HIV testing, Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) and Provider Initiated Counselling and Testing (PICT), the IPCF approach initiates the process of HIV testing for children by identifying children while at the community through utilization of community social networks whereas, VCT and PICT interventions initiate the process of HIV testing for children who have already presented at health facilities for either an HIV test or other health needs.
