Strategies to achieve the <scp>UNAIDS</scp> 95% <scp>HIV</scp> diagnosis target in Australia: Insights from a multidisciplinary roundtable
To achieve the UNAIDS 95% diagnosis target, we recommend three key strategies: implementing opt-out testing in selected settings, expanding access to self-testing and reducing barriers to point of care testing. These strategies should be supported by enhanced healthcare provider education and actions to reduce structural barriers to testing access.
