May 10, 2021 – Insignia Federal Group, LLC, along with partners OraSure Technologies, Inc., Building Healthy Online Communities (BHOC), Emory University, and Keymind (a division of Axiom Resource Management), was selected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to distribute 100,000 HIV self-test kits – mailed in discreet packaging, at no charge, to individuals who request them.
The program will send out OraQuick In-Home HIV Tests, which allow an individual to detect antibodies to both HIV-1 and HIV-2 with an oral swab, and provides a result in 20 minutes, at home.
The tests are the only oral fluid rapid over-the-counter HIV test approved in the U.S. If the test shows a positive result, users will be directed to go to a healthcare provider for follow-up testing.
