The gap in HIV testing remains significant and new modalities such as HIV self-testing (HIVST) have been recommended to reach key and under-tested populations. In December 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) released the Guidelines on HIV Self-Testing and Partner Notification: A Supplement to the Consolidated Guidelines on HIV Testing Services (HTS) and urged member countries to develop HIVST policy and regulatory frameworks. In South Africa, HIVST was included as a supplementary strategy in the National HIV Testing Services Policy in 2016, and recently, guidelines for HIVST were included in the South African National Strategic Plan for HIV, sexually transmitted infections and tuberculosis 2017-2022. This document serves as an additional guidance for the National HIV Testing Services Policy 2016, with specific focus on HIVST. It is intended for policy advocates, clinical and non-clinical HTS providers, health facility managers and healthcare providers in private and public health facilities, non-governmental, community-based and faith-based organisations involved in HTS and outreach, device manufacturers, workplace programmes and institutes of higher education.
艾滋病毒检测方面的差距仍然很大，因此推荐采用艾滋病毒自我检测（HIVST）等新方式，以覆盖重点人群和检测不足的人群。2016年12月，世界卫生组织（WHO）发布了《艾滋病毒自我检测和性伴告知指南：艾滋病毒检测服务综合指南补编》，并敦促成员国制定艾滋病毒自我检测政策和监管框架。在南非，艾滋病毒自我检测于2016年被纳入《国家艾滋病毒检测服务政策》，作为一项补充策略，最近，艾滋病毒自我检测指南被纳入《2017 - 2022年南非艾滋病毒、性传播感染和结核病国家战略计划》。本文件作为2016年《国家艾滋病毒检测服务政策》的补充指南，特别聚焦于艾滋病毒自我检测。它面向政策倡导者、临床和非临床艾滋病毒检测服务提供者、卫生机构管理人员以及公立和私立卫生机构的医疗服务提供者、参与艾滋病毒检测服务及外展工作的非政府组织、社区组织和宗教组织、设备制造商、职场项目以及高等教育机构。
