In addition to basic diagnosis of HIV status, diagnostic testing plays a critical role in monitoring a patient's condition and determining when drugs should be administered and whether they are working. Accurate measurement of a patient's CD4 count enables clinicians to determine when to initiate antiretroviral (ARV) treatment. BD CD4 testing reagents help to evaluate the effectiveness of and adherence to ARV therapy.
We support a continuum of care through the following efforts:
- CD4 testing
- Preventing the spread of disease
- Health systems strengthening
