Working Together to End HIV as a Public Health Threat
“We are honoured to support National HIV Testing Day by providing these essential testing kits,” said David Weaver, VP of Commercial at bioLytical. “We see this as a valuable partnership, highlighting the power of working together to create more testing opportunities. As a company dedicated to helping solve some of the world’s most challenging health concerns, we understand the importance of providing additional options for more people to know their status.

This collaboration is a crucial step in eliminating the traditional barriers that prevent people from accessing vital health information and taking proactive measures to manage their health and receive the care they need.
Ensuring equitable and regular access to HIV testing is vital in the fight to end HIV as a public health threat, and early detection through accessible testing not only helps reduce onward infections but also connects individuals to necessary treatment and care.

Through collaboration with healthcare providers, community organizations, and public health initiatives, America can make significant strides in reducing HIV transmission and connecting people to life-saving treatment and care.
