Area of Science:

Public Health
Infectious Disease Epidemiology
HIV/AIDS Prevention

Background:

The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (UNAIDS) has set 95-95-95 targets to combat the HIV epidemic.
Singapore faces challenges in achieving the first UNAIDS target, indicating a need for improved HIV testing strategies.
Morbidity and mortality associated with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) necessitate urgent public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

To increase the uptake of HIV testing within Singapore.
To facilitate earlier detection and identification of individuals with undiagnosed HIV infection.
To reduce the further transmission of HIV infection in Singapore.

Main Methods:

Development of recommendations by the National HIV Programme (NHIVP).
Adaptation of major international guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Focus on strategies to enhance HIV testing accessibility and awareness.

Main Results:

The recommendations aim to increase HIV testing uptake.
Earlier detection of unrecognized HIV infections is a key outcome.
Facilitation of linkage to clinical services for diagnosed individuals.

Conclusions:

The developed recommendations are crucial for Singapore to improve its performance on the first UNAIDS 95-95-95 target.
Implementing these strategies is expected to lead to earlier HIV diagnosis and reduced transmission rates.
These guidelines provide a framework for enhancing HIV testing and care in Singapore.
