Kintegra and Gilead Sciences’ FOCUS Programgilead

Increasing routine HIV and Hepatitis C screening is essential to slowing and ultimately ending these epidemics in the United States. One in eight HIV-positive Americans do not know they are infected, 45% of those diagnosed with HIV remain out of care, and it is estimated that 50% of people infected with HCV remain undiagnosed. Routine screening integrates HIV and HCV testing into regular care in clinics, hospitals, and other health care settings to address undiagnosed infection and engage individuals in treatment.

The Gilead FOCUS program (Frontlines of Communities in the United States) partners with health care organizations, government agencies, community organizations, and others to change the way clinical and community institutions approach HIV and HCV testing. Thanks to a grant from  Gilead Sciences’ FOCUS program, Kintegra is launching a pilot program of HIV and HCV screening.
