#HIV self-testing (#HIVST) is a game-changer in global health by putting the power of health in consumers' hands. But it's often unavailable, unaffordable, or inaccessible in many countries. @PSIimpact, @Abbott, and @UNITAID are changing that. bit.ly/3MVtYEk

We’ve heard a lot about the potentials of scaling up and increasing access to #HepC #selftesting at #AIDS2022. But what service-delivery and market scale up models from #HIV self-testing support this exactly? @KimberlyEGreen, Program Leader for Primary Healthcare at @PATHtweets:


After successfully introducing and scaling up #HIVST, @PSIimpact and the @SelfTestAfrica consortium are working together with governments and stakeholders on evaluating the feasibility and market scale for #hcv #selftesting. Catey Laube from @Jhpiego at #AIDS2022 for more:

So true! #HCV diagnosis and treatment can & should be delivered through community-based #PHC & harm reduction services. Urgently need a revolution in guidelines, training, supply chain and financing to make it happen! @OzCapucine #AIDS2022 @SelfTestAfrica @Davina_Can @rbaggaley

Project Director of @SelfTestAfrica - "58,000,000 people are living with #Hepatitis C and only 28% know they are infected." With lessons learned from #HIVST, how we can bridge the gap in #diagnosis and #testing?

Dr. Rachel Golin underscores @PEPFAR support for self-testing having procured >11 million kits this year. Priority implementation approaches need scale-up. #AIDS2022 @rbaggaley @mdoherty_hiv @purvs9 @mshahidjameel @SelfTestAfrica @UNITAID @CHAI_health @MedAccessUK @AtlasProjet

Abiola Adepjou @Jhpiego @SelfTestAfrica shows #HIVseltfesting reaching men in Nigeria - including those 30+, 1st-time testers & the one-stop shop model highly effective w/ 4.9% HIV positivity. @UNITAID catalytic funding has led to @PEPFAR @BornFreeofHIV investment #AIDS2022

Robert Matiru @Unitaid says `WHO & Unitaid took a bet on #HIVselftesting years ago when data was sparse, & it's paid off`. Lessons learned: It's not a sprint, continue to invest & make ST freely available, support demand generation & expansion to new markets #AIDS2022

@KimberlyEGreen laying the foundation for why new diagnostic tools & delivery methods for #HepatitisC, such as a #selftest, is critically needed to get us to elimination + opportunities it affords for co-packaging as part of integrated service delivery. #AIDS2022 @SelfTestAfrica

Takeaways from our #AIDS2022 satellite session with @UNITAID? #HIVST is acceptable, feasible and a tool to reach key populations. We can advance equity in healthcare systems by placing people at the center. Don't miss upcoming @SelfTestAfrica events: psi.org/project/star/a…

Sr. Technical Advisor Amber Sheets, showcases how chatbots share private, useful information about #HIVST to key populations never tested before – advancing the #SelfTestingMovement. Learn more about our work expanding HIVST: psi.org/project/star/s…


What makes Aayush Solanki's work with @SelfTestAfrica so exciting? That by working with manufacturers we can reduce price, increase accessibility to #HIVST – and replicated these learnings COVID and Hepatitis, now at #AIDS2022. #followthescience
