We are pleased to share that together with @UNITAID we have announced an agreement with Omega Diagnostics to help deliver same-day CD4 testing to #PLHIV in over 130 LMICs at just US$3.98 per test— the lowest price for such a test in the world. bit.ly/3cTX2ac
Especially in light of #COVID19, it is critical to rapidly and efficiently identify, prevent, and treat advanced HIV disease and protect this population that is predisposed to vulnerabilities of opportunistic infections.
CD4 cell count testing helps identify those most at risk of opportunistic infections such as TB and cryptococcal meningitis—the two largest killers for those living with Advanced HIV Disease.
Receiving CD4 results quickly helps ensure that providers are able to rapidly make the best treatment decisions for their patients to prevent opportunistic infections before they occur.
The agreement will expand access to @OmegaDiagnostic's VISITECT® CD4 Advanced Disease rapid test - a portable, hand-held, disposable testing device that can deliver same-day results to quickly diagnose and treat opportunistic infections in people living with Advanced HIV Disease.
Building on this pricing agreement, @UNITAID has established an EMAV to be led by CHAI, to accelerate access to this groundbreaking product in a wide set of countries. bit.ly/2KJqhQR
Beginning today, CHAI and @UNITAID will begin accepting Expressions of Interest and admitting selected partners to the EMAV on a rolling basis through September 30, 2021 (or when maximum volume commitment is delivered). Learn more 👉🏿bit.ly/2KJqhQR
