Abstract: Human Immunodeficiency Virus is a known virus-causing disease worldwide. Health care providers are of greater risk of acquiring the infection through percutaneous injury and mucosal exposure to blood and other body fluids of their infected patients. Not knowing that there is an infection would be a reason for eagerness to self-test. The aim of this research is to ascertain the willingness of medical technologists to undergo self-testing for Human Immunodeficiency Virus and identify the determinants to promote HIV self-testing. The study is descriptive in nature and total enumeration was used to select participants in their assigned hospitals. The results showed most of the medical technologists were willing to undergo the test. There was positive attitude of medical technologists regarding HIV self-testing.
