N2  - Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immuno- Deficiency (sometimes Immune Deficiency) Syndrome (AIDS) is a global  challenge of our time. Since the start of HIV epidemic about 78 million people  have become infected with HIV and 35 million people died of AIDS-related  disease. Sub-Saharan African countries account for more than two third of  people living with HIV infection.  Egypt remains a transit and destination country for asylum seekers and  refugees who fled their homelands due to civil wars and persecution to seek  international Protection and Security, while natural disasters as famine and  drought and as supervening in some countries of sub-Saharan Africa and the  horn of Africa constitute other reasons for displacement. Majority of registered  refugees in Egypt are from Syria and other main nationalities of asylum seekers  and refugees are coming from sub-Saharan Africa; Eritrean, Ethiopian, Somali, and Sudanese and also from Iraq and Yemen along with Palestinian refugees.  HIV prevalence in these countries vary but is estimated at 4.7% in sub- Saharan countries. The study aims to identify factors affecting refugees{u2019} willingness for  utilization of HIV prevention and voluntary counseling and testing services and  AIDS care, support and treatment services at Refuge Egypt clinics and their  role in promoting the services and to research and assess HIV stigma and  discrimination. 310 participants from out patients{u2019} clinics were interviewed. 99.6% of them have heard about HIV infection, 77.4% (240) performed the HIV test and 22.6% (70) decided to delay to conduct HIV test. Among those  who performed the test 83.3% (200) were negative for HIV infection and  16.7% (40) had positive results. Fear of rejection and discrimination because  of living with HIV was put into evidence with difference between sexes, age  groups above 30 years and in relation to work status.
