The development of reliable near patient testing (NPT) systems for INR estimation has facilitated devolution of testing to primary care.

There is a compelling and urgent need to develop and test comprehensive HIV testing, linkage to care, retention in care and adherence interventions for black MSM.
The aim of this study is to compare standard practice guided by usual care testing to FFRCT-guided management in symptomatic subjects with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).
The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to enhance HCV testing, linkage to care, and treatment uptake among PWID.
The District of Columbia has implemented intensified testing, linkage to care, free condom distribution, and needle exchange to address the high HIV transmission in the District [30].
It requires HIV testing, linkage to care, cART availability, national guidelines permitting cART administration, and adherence to lifelong therapeutic regimens.

We developed a system dynamics model of the continuum of HIV care in Vancouver, Canada, which reflects key activities and decisions in the delivery of antiretroviral therapy, including HIV testing, linkage to care, and long-term retention in care and treatment.
Testing and linkage to care are appropriately one of the highest public health priorities in populations with high prevalence worldwide.
