Abstract

The use of rapid HIV tests is increasingly widespread in order to increase knowledge about serological status and access to treatment, especially in populations considered most at risk. In this study, through a systematic review of the most significant literature and projects carried out in recent years, we are trying to analyze the organizational elements that should be taken into account in order to ensure an efficient and effective service. In particular, the places where the test is administered, the type of staff involved, the relationship and link with a public body for the confirmation and taking charge of the positivity, the consulting service offered, the costs of the service, the type of test, the frequency of administration and the rate of effectiveness of the rapid test are subject to analysis and comparison. The case study confirms empirically and integrates the evidence found in the literature.
