Development of a Tablet Computer Application for HIV Testing and Risk History Calendar for Use With Older Africans

Life history calendars (LHCs) are able to capture large-scale retrospective quantitative data, which can be utilized to learn about transitions of behavior change over time. The Testing and Risk History Calendar (TRHC) is a version of life history calendar (LHC) which correlates critical social, sex...
