CROI shows the importance of 90–90–90

UNAIDS - "A number of important updates were announced at the annual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) that have shown the importance of, and ways to achieve, the 90–90–90 targets, whereby, by 2020, 90% of people living with HIV know their HIV status, 90% of people who know their HIV-positive status are accessing treatment and 90% of people on treatment have suppressed viral loads.

(...) A way of helping to meet the first 90—90% of people living with HIV knowing their HIV status—is the scale-up of self-testing. The STAR project, a four-year programme to build up HIV self-testing, has now distributed around 200 000 self-testing kits in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe and is showing promising results."
