Ending the HIV epidemic has been a shared global priority for the last three decades, however, progress in reducing new infections has slowed significantly with approximately 1.5 million new HIV infections in 2021. A holistic approach for decentralized HIV detection and monitoring is needed; the HIV Self-Test provides a private and accurate solution to reaching the missed population discreetly, the 4th Generation HIV POC Test sets a new standard in HIV POC testing with dual accuracy that detects Acute HIV infection with p24 antigen and Chronic HIV infection with its highest antibody sensitivity, and the POC viral load test optimizes HIV patient monitoring and advanced HIV care package of CD4 and TB detection. We are pleased to invite you to our scientific symposium that reinforces our commitment to reaching the 95-95-95 goal through innovations in decentralized testing across the continuum HIV patient journey for an AIDS-free generation.
