2006 Rapid HIV Test Assessment Report
|
NASTAD has long supported rapid HIV testing technology and was among those organizations instrumental in advocacy to obtain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of rapid testing technology along with the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) waiver that allowed their use without regulatory oversight, particularly in non-clinical settings. With the approval of this technology, health departments have implemented rapid testing in high-risk and other settings, resources permitting. Shortage of resources continues to further constrain implementation of rapid testing technology, in spite of the effectiveness and successes associated with it. In May 2006, as means to help guide policy and future HIV testing programs in the U.S., NASTAD conducted a survey of state and directly funded health departments.
