 AB    The MUTAN (Tanzanian Norwegian AIDS Project) virology programme has
       comprised research, intervention, surveillance and education as part of
       the Tanzanian National AIDS Control Programme. HIV testing of blood
       donors was introduced in 1988 in the regions Arusha and Kilimanjaro.
       Simple and rapid HIV-tests have been evaluated continuously, as well as
       the possible use of alternative specimen samples for testing. The
       polymerase chain reaction for detection of HIV proviral DNA was
       established at the Northern Zone Reference Hospital, The Kilimanjaro
       Christian Medical Centre in Moshi, in 1993.
