HIV self‑test – A powerful tool for detection and prevention
The use of HIV self-tests is gaining ground as an effective tool for early detection and prevention in the healthcare sector. Especially for organisations working with high-risk groups – such as NGOs, municipalities, drop-in centres, and mobile health services – self-testing is a flexible, low-threshold supplement to existing testing efforts.
Improved access = stronger health
Many people at risk of HIV never get tested in traditional settings. With the Stat-View HIV home test, testing can be brought directly into the field – and into the hands of people who would otherwise never be tested.

Testing as a social tool
Self-testing not only helps with contact tracing – it also breaks taboos. When testing is made easily accessible and non-stigmatizing, it becomes possible to work with health education in environments where traditional clinic-based work is not sufficient.
