Panorama
Gaps in diagnostics and monitoring treatment of HIV are perpetuating the epidemic. While progress has been made, barriers to HIV testing remain with failure to identify new cases, missing diagnostic in the acute phase and loss of follow up, which are impacting the achievement of UNAID's 95/95/95 goals. Increasing knowledge of HIV status is a must. Early detection of individuals in the highly infectious acute phase is a key factor in reducing transmission. A reduction in lost to follow up patients by providing results immediately is a key element in the fight against AIDS. Watch this program for insights on rapid, accessible, and accurate testing methods.
