For over 5 years, Aviro Health has been improving health outcomes by developing digital platforms that complement HIVST in sub-Saharan Africa, but self-testing has a much longer, complex history. The idea of HIVST was first proposed in 1986 as a way for individuals to quickly learn their HIV status, independent of a healthcare facility. HIVST removes barriers and increases access to testing for key populations, but it took a quarter of a century to get the first HIVST kit approved by the FDA.

Aviro Health is pleased to announce a successful partnership with TB/HIV Care in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. This partnership will allow Aviro Health and TB/HIV Care to increase the uptake of HIV self-testing in healthcare facilities by availing testing booths and tablets to improve patients' testing experiences. The key is accessibility. That is why Pocket Clinic can now be found in TB/HIV Care healthcare facilities  in the Eastern Cape – taking screening and testing closer to people.
