Availability of HIV Rapid Diagnostic Tests Over the Counter
SHOPS conducted assessments of over-the-counter availability of HIV rapid diagnostic tests through private pharmacies in Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, and Uganda. The objective was to assess the extent to which the tests were readily accessible to and used by consumers for self-testing, in lieu of facility-based HIV testing services. The assessment revealed several findings regarding HIV rapid diagnostic tests, including their regulatory oversight, availability, source, demand, and future role.
