Malawi is rapidly closing the gap in achieving the UNAIDS 95‐95‐95 targets, with 90% of people living with HIV in Malawi aware of their status. As we approach epidemic control, interventions to improve coverage will become more costly. There is, therefore, an urgent need to identify innovative and low‐cost strategies to maintain and increase testing coverage without diverting resources from other HIV services. The objective of this study is to model different combinations of facility‐based HIV testing modalities and determine the most cost‐effective strategy to increase the proportion of men and youth testing for HIV.
