Stigma, cost, distance, and multi-day waits for lab results keep patients from testing — and from ever returning for results. NCSD and OraSure invite you to join our upcoming webinar, Expanding the Impact of Rapid STI Testing in Community Health, to see how same-visit results change who gets tested and who gets treated. We’ll be joined by our expert speaker, Cree Malone-Miller, from Avenue 360 Health + Wellness, a Houston-based federally qualified health center (FQHC). Avenue 360 delivers free rapid HIV, HCV, and syphilis testing across clinics, community venues, and a mobile unit. 

What You’ll Learn:

• • • STI Burden in Texas: The prevalence and impact of HIV, HCV, and syphilis.
    • Timely Diagnosis: Why fast diagnosis and treatment change outcomes.
    • Point-of-Care Advantages: The case for rapid HIV, HCV, and syphilis testing.
    • Case Application: Real scenarios suited to point-of-care testing.
    • Integration Strategies: How to integrate rapid testing into your setting and lift screening rates.
