Abstract: This study highlights the influence of Internet access and beliefs about HIV transmission on HIV–AIDS testing among women in Cameroon. The analysis covers a sample of 5958 women, from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS 5) of Cameroon (NIS [2015]. Enquête par grappes à indicateurs multiples (MICS5), 2014, Base de données). The econometric results reveal that the probability of having high access to the internet positively influences the likelihood of getting tested for HIV–AIDS. In addition, established beliefs about AIDS can encourage women to get tested for HIV–AIDS. Also, women who are poor are the most likely to be tested for HIV–AIDS.
