ACTS provides a simplified system for HIV counseling and testing that works when conducting HIV testing. The pocket guide highlights key information for easy reference and is the centerpiece of the ACTS system.

​

The ACTS approach includes two components: 

​

1. A streamlined HIV counseling approach that can be delivered in as few as two minutes, so that providers can feasibly integrate HIV testing into routinely delivered care.

2. A field-tested implementation process to facilitate routine HIV testing, including detailed instruction for buy-in, implementation planning, training and mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation.
