In 2015, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation was awarded funding by Unitaid to implement the “Optimization of early infant diagnosis (EID) networks through introduction of point-of-care (POC) EID to increase the number of infants tested and initiated on antiretroviral treatment (ART): Creating a market for affordable, effective and equitable HIV testing of exposed infants” project (2015 – 2019). The POC EID Data Dashboard summarizes key findings from the project countries that have introduced innovative point-of-care testing technologies. Conventional methods of diagnosis took a median of 53 days to return test results to parents. With POC, results are often returned the same day, saving more baby's lives.
