After 6 years, the OPP-ERA project closes in Côte d’Ivoire, Burundi, Guinea and Cameroon

6 years after its launch in Burundi, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire and Guinea, the OPP-ERA project has significantly improved access to viral load testing through open and polyvalent bio-molecular platforms: 11 laboratories have been rehabilitated, equipped and are functional for viral load testing. More than 180,000 viral load tests have been achieved and more than 300 health professionals have been trained

In order to implement HIV viral load testing, the only choice of a technical solu-tion is not sufficient. The conditions needed for its realisation in resource-li-mited countries also need to be created. This is what we wished to highlight in this Guide. We are proud to bring you our 60 lessons learned, for all the viral load testing stakeholders.” Louis PIZARRO, Solthis CEO

Coming from 4 different countries and contexts, they share a common vision: to be at the service of patients. Viral load is an essential element in ensuring the effectiveness of treatment for people living with HIV, reducing contamination and mortality: “It is important to remember that behind each result, there is a patient in need. There is no room for error”
