Breaking the HIV Infection Cycle
Identifying HIV infection early, during the most infectious stage, offers significant benefits, particularly in high-risk populations such as men who have sex with men and injecting drug users.


Get the Facts

Rapid detection also helps to get patients into effective care and treatment earlier.

 Individuals who are unaware of their infection are 3.5 times more likely to transmit the virus to someone else.1

By detecting HIV earlier, further transmission can be prevented during this highly infectious stage.
