The catalytic investment in point-of-care (POC), early-infant-diagnosis (EID), and viral-load (VL) technologies by the Accelerating Access to Innovative Point of Care HIV Diagnostics Project, implemented in partnership between UNICEF, Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), ASLM, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) and Unitaid, has shown significant results over the years. It has contributed to filling the gap of the AIDS response in Cameroon, DRC, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. This short video, linked below in both English and French, conveys the message that innovation continues to be on the forefront of the fight against HIV, and that in the past fifteen years remarkable growth in diagnostic testing in low- and middle-income countries occurred, aiming to complement conventional laboratories and to influence the achievement of the 2030 Fast Track targets for ending the AIDS epidemic.
