Sensitivity and specificity of Dried Blood Spot and Plasma Separation Card samples for Hepatitis C Virus RNA Testing
Dried blood spots (DBS) and plasma separation cards (PSC) have the potential to improve access to hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing. This multicenter study evaluated the performance of two HCV RNA assay platforms using capillary or venous DBS and PSC. Participants were enrolled in Cameroon, Rwanda, Georgia, and Greece. DBS and PSC prepared from capillary and venous blood samples were collected from three target populations; individuals at risk of H…
Usability and acceptability of oral fluid- and blood-based hepatitis C virus self-testing among the general population and men who have sex with men in Malaysia
Hepatitis C self-testing (HCVST) is emerging as an additional strategy that could help to expand access to HCV testing. We conducted a study to assess the usability and acceptability of two types of HCVST, oral fluid- and blood-based, among the general population and men who have sex with men (MSM) in Malaysia. An observational study was conducted in three primary care centres in Malaysia. Participants who were layman users performed the oral flu…
Implementation pilot study of community self-testing for Covid-19 among employees of manufacturing industries and their household members in 2022 to 2023
COVID-19 self-testing is essential for enabling individuals to self-care, screen themselves and, if positive, isolate themselves. Since 2021, COVID-19 self-tests have been extensively used in high-income countries, however, their programmatic implementation in low- and middle-income countries has been delayed. An implementation pilot, mixed-methods study, was conducted in four industrial manufacturing companies, in Kedah State between November 20…
Implementing a pilot study of Covid-19 self-testing in high-risk populations and remote locations
Our findings contribute to the evidence-base regarding self-testing strategies conducted via workplaces and secondary distribution to households. Willingness to perform a COVID-19 self-test increased after implementation. This pilot enhanced pandemic preparedness through expansion of the national self-testing reporting system, development of communications materials, changes in the national legal framework and coordination mechanisms, and improve…
HCV Self-Testing to Expand Testing
Background: Hepatitis C virus self-testing (HCVST) may increase test uptake especially among marginalized key populations such as men who have sex with men (MSM). We conducted an observational study to assess the usability, acceptability and feasibility of HCVST among MSM in China. Methods: An observational study with convenience sampling was performed among MSM in Guangzhou, China in 2019. The OraQuick® HCV Rapid Antibody Test kits were used in …
Protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial of secondary distribution of hepatitis C self-testing within the context of a house-to-house hepatitis C micro-elimination programme in Karachi, Paki…
This study and was registered on clinicaltrials.gov ( NCT04971538 ) 21 July 2021
Usability and acceptability of self-testing for hepatitis C virus infection among the general population in the Nile Delta region of Egypt
Our study demonstrates the high usability and acceptability of oral fluid HCVST in a general population. Further studies are needed to establish the optimal positioning of self-testing alongside facility-based testing to expand access to HCV diagnosis in both general and high-risk populations
