In September 2022, CDC funded a nationwide program, Together TakeMeHome (TTMH), to expand distribution of HIV self-tests (HIVSTs) directly to consumers by mail through an online ordering portal. To publicize the availability of HIVSTs to priority audiences, particularly those disproportionately affected by HIV, CDC promoted this program through established partnerships and tailored resources from its Let's Stop HIV Together social marketing campaign. The online portal launched March 14, 2023, and through March 13, 2024, distributed 443,813 tests to 219,360 persons. Among 169,623 persons who answered at least one question on a postorder questionnaire, 67.9% of respondents were from priority audiences, 24.1% had never previously received testing for HIV, and 24.8% had not received testing in the past year. Among the subset of participants who initiated a follow-up survey, 88.3% used an HIVST themselves, 27.1% gave away an HIVST, 11.7% accessed additional preventive services, and 1.9% reported a new positive HIVST result. Mailed HIVST distribution can quickly reach large numbers of persons who have never received testing for HIV or have not received testing as often as is recommended. TTMH can help to achieve the goal of diagnosing HIV as early as possible and provides a path to other HIV prevention and care services. Clinicians, community organizations, and public health officials should be aware of HIVST programs, initiate discussions about HIV testing conducted outside their clinics or offices, and initiate follow-up services for persons who report a positive or negative HIVST result.

联邦政府资助的直接面向消费者的 HIV 自检分发计划第一年的调查结果 - 美国，2023 年 3 月至 2024 年 3 月。


2022 年 9 月，CDC 资助了一项名为 Together TakeMeHome (TTMH) 的全国性计划，旨在通过在线订购门户，通过邮件直接向消费​​者分发艾滋病毒自我检测 (HIVST)。为了向优先受众，特别是那些受艾滋病毒影响较大的人群宣传艾滋病毒ST的可用性，疾病预防控制中心通过建立的合作伙伴关系和来自“让我们一起阻止艾滋病毒”社会营销活动的定制资源来推广该计划。该在线门户于 2023 年 3 月 14 日启动，截至 2024 年 3 月 13 日，已向 219,360 人分发了 443,813 份测试。在 169,623 名至少回答了后序调查问卷中一个问题的人中，67.9% 的受访者来自优先受众，24.1% 的受访者之前从未接受过 HIV 检测，24.8% 的受访者在过去一年中未接受过检测。在发起后续调查的参与者子集中，88.3% 的人自己使用了 HIVST，27.1% 的人放弃了 HIVST，11.7% 的人获得了额外的预防服务，1.9% 的人报告了新的 HIVST 阳性结果。邮寄 HIVST 分发可以快速送达大量从未接受过 HIV 检测或未按照建议频率接受检测的人。 TTMH 可以帮助实现尽早诊断 HIV 的目标，并为其他 HIV 预防和护理服务提供途径。临床医生、社区组织和公共卫生官员应了解 HIVST 计划，发起有关在其诊所或办公室外进行的 HIV 检测的讨论，并为报告 HIVST 阳性或阴性结果的人员提供后续服务。
