Ottawa Public Health and a slate of partner organizations have launched a pilot program believed to be the first in the country to deliver free HIV self-tests for at-home use. It’s an innovation fuelled in part by the COVID-19 pandemic that project leaders hope will help empower people who would prefer an alternative to traditional testing at a clinic or doctor’s office, and reach some of those whose HIV-positive status might otherwise remain undiagnosed.
