Timely initiation of hepatitis B virus treatment is essential for improving prognosis and outcomes. In Ethiopia, the use of the Xpert hepatitis B virus viral load kit significantly shortened the turnaround time compared to standard laboratory methods. By reducing the time to a treatment decision to 1 day, the Xpert kit allowed for quicker treatment initiation at lower costs, potentially saving lives that might otherwise be lost due to treatment delays.
