What Is Already Known About This Topic?:
China has substantially expanded human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing services and diversified testing approaches. However, delayed HIV diagnosis remains common, and evidence regarding implementation gaps is still limited.

What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?:
Targeted testing strategies, stigma reduction, stronger linkage-to-care systems, and improved cross-sector coordination are needed to improve early HIV diagnosis and strengthen linkage to care.
