BACKGROUND
The purpose of establishing integrated counseling and testing center (ICTC) is to detect HIV at the earliest time, providing information on modes of transmission and prevention of HIV by promoting behavioral change and reducing vulnerability, and informing individuals on HIV prevention, care, and treatment services.
OBJECTIVE
To know the awareness of the clients about ICTC before pretest counseling.
METHODS
This facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 105 pretest counseling clients who visited ICTC for the first time in 3 ICTCs of tertiary care hospitals attached to a medical college in Mangalore.
RESULT
Majority of the clients were pregnant women (n = 57, 54.30%), and most of the clients were referred by the treating doctor (n = 91, 86.7%). Most of the clients, being unaware of ICTC, are not aware of its functions and activities.
CONCLUSION
Although ICTCs have been functional for nearly a decade, the awareness of ICTC and its functions among the people is poor.
背景
建立综合咨询与检测中心（ICTC）的目的是尽早检测出艾滋病毒，通过促进行为改变和降低易感性来提供艾滋病毒传播方式及预防信息，并向个人宣传艾滋病毒预防、护理和治疗服务。
目的
了解检测前咨询时服务对象对ICTC的知晓情况。
方法
在芒格洛尔一所医学院附属三级护理医院的3个ICTC中，对105名首次前来ICTC进行检测前咨询的服务对象开展了这项基于机构的横断面研究。
结果
大多数服务对象为孕妇（n = 57，54.30%），且大多数服务对象是由主治医生转诊而来（n = 91，86.7%）。大多数不了解ICTC的服务对象也不清楚其功能和活动。
结论
尽管ICTC已运行近十年，但人们对ICTC及其功能的知晓度仍很低。
