Order worth ~$440k for the NAPWHA run HIV Self-Test mail-out program
Scale up of public health funded HIV self-testing reflects growing market for
sexual health testing in the home
SYDNEY, Australia November 13th, 2024 - Atomo Diagnostics Limited (ASX:AT1) (Atomo) is
pleased to announce securing a purchase order from the National Association of People with
HIV Australia (NAPWHA) for approximately $440k worth of HIV Self-Tests. Atomo considers
the revenue from this order to be material.
This order supports ongoing scale up of a successful free-to-user HIV Self-Testing program
run by NAPHWA, and now directly funded by the Federal Government under new public HIV
health policy announced in the May budget.
The program is supported by Grindr, the world’s largest social networking app for the LGBTIQ+
community, and expansion of the program ensures availability of more HIV Self-Tests and
enable Grindr to continue to build awareness and providing their users with direct links to
access self-testing resources in Australia.
Mr Kelly said, “We are delighted to see HIV self-testing continue to be an increasingly
important public health channel for delivering decentralised HIV testing. We continue to work
with NAPWHA and other partners here in Australia to ensure that discrete, convenient testing
is available to those wishing to know their status”.
Atomo supplies the only HIV Self-Test included on the Australian Register of Therapeutic
Goods (ARTG) and has been instrumental in the implementation of a number of pilot
programs, now being funded directly by the Federal and State Government.
