Being “authentic” could open the door for donor support. As donors began to work with communities, their goal was to test as many people as possible for HIV in order to get them enrolled in ART treatment. Donors depended on rapid scale up to meet their goals and to illustrate to key constituencies that they were acting on AIDS (Benton 2015). Prior to the scale up in ART, many people did not test for the HIV virus until they were very ill; people perceived that it was useless to know their HIV status because infection meant certain death (MSF 2001) Some also avoided testing, because they assumed HIV was highly transmissible and therefore, they would test positive (Kaler and Watkins 2010).
In Malawi, the Chewas and Tumbukas are relatively large groups with antagonistic relations. Political parties are formed along ethnic lines and because the Chewa are more numerous (roughly one-third of the population), they have more opportunities to shape political outcomes (Posner 2004).

In 2011, 40 % of the Malawian government’s overall budget came from external resources and 40 % of that aid came from the United Kingdom (Interview, MoF civil servant, Lilongwe, June 26, 2014; International Business Times, November 19, 2013).
