WHO, UNAIDS Statement on HIV Testing Services: New Opportunities and Ongoing Challenges

HIV testing services are an essential gateway to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) endorse and encourage universal access to knowledge of HIV status. Increased access to and uptake of HIV testing is central to achieving the 90–90–90 targets endorsed in the 2016 United Nations Political Declaration on Ending AIDS.
