Reaching the first 90: how HIV self-testing can help us end the HIV epidemic
November 11, 2019 • By Laurel Challacombe and Camille ArkellCanada has signed on to the global 90-90-90 targets to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. The aim of these targets is to diagnose at least 90% of all people living with HIV, provide treatment for 90% of those diagnosed, and for 90% of people on treatment to have an undetectable viral load by 2020. However, Canada is falling short on the first 90, lagging behind other similar countries, such as the United Kingdom and Australia.
