In light of the imminent threat of a growing HIV epidemic in East and South East Europe, optimal accessibility and effectiveness of primary and secondary HIV preventative interventions are fast becoming public health priorities. Voluntary HIV Counselling and Testing (VCT) has proven to be effective in lowering sexual risk behaviour among serodiscordant, heterosexual couples and individuals testing HIV-positive, with less evidence for beneficial effects in other population subgroups. Indeed, through the process of VCT, misconceptions about HIV and risky practices can be rectified, the selfassessment of one's risk behaviour is facilitated, and people infected with HIV can be identified and referred for appropriate treatment and follow-up. Moreover, simulation models indicate that even in settings with an HIV prevalence as low as 0.20% (as is the case in Serbia and Montenegro), once off routine VCT can be cost-effective.
