On the day of legislation, the test u ptake and the rate of identifying HIV positives declined. The impact was arguably stronger for rural females with media access near the capital. A dditionally, self-reported HIV-related discrimination increased on that day. I n summary, the law discouraged test uptake among HIV-positive females by r einforcing HIV stigma and/or fear of legal punishment.}, title = {Impact of legislation for infectious disease control: evidence from HIV testing in Mali}, year = {2022} }
