ABSTRACT=•	Malawi, like other countries with a generalized HIV epidemic, is striving to reach the ambitious targets set by UNAIDS known as the Three 90’s for testing, provision of antiretroviral therapy and viral suppression. 
•	Assisted by Malawi’s progressive policies on HIV/AIDS, it appears possible that Malawi will attain these goals, but only by employing innovative program approaches to service delivery which help fill policy gaps. 
•	This article describes how a dedicated cadre of lay-person testers and HIV-positive peers appears to have helped attain increases in HIV and viral load testing and retention in care in four districts in Malawi, and situates these innovations in a policy framework analysis.
