Home or self-testing
INTEGRATE has developed tools and methods to support the expansion of the new and innovative testing HIV self-testing and explored potential for expanding access to self-testing in high priority countries across Europe. Two pilot interventions were made in Lithuania and Italy where HIV self-tests are on sale in pharmacies to map availability and accessibility. Here are some background information and ideas to improve access to self-testing in your country:
