For my USA followers - an #MEAction article on the NIH "Home Test To Treat" program:
"Acute COVID-19 treatment and testing is unfortunately becoming harder and harder to access with the U.S. government public health emergency having been declared ended. The Home Test To Treat pilot program is a way to fill that gap in an accessible and equitable way."

One of our team members just enrolled in this to test out the system. Their tests shipped in under 3 hours and arrived the next day. 🤯 [head exploding emoji]
🧐 Please note:
[focused monacle face emoji]The signup has a few nosy questions, which are mandatory. One was about whether you identify as a marginalized gender. Another asked whether you have avoided healthcare recently and why. Incredibly "covid" wasn't an option? Nevermind "covid exposure risk in unmasked healthcare settings." Okay! 🫠 [melting face emoji]
We presume from the phrasing that these are for demographic research purposes.
🤩 One nice thing:
[starry eyed emoji]You do NOT need to use the provided tests to access telehealth support or antivirals, so no need to save them for a special occasion.
You can use ANY FDA-approved covid test and still qualify for all features of the program, running thru April 2024.

CW: antiviral COVID treatment available in US
Early testing & treatment for COVID can mean the difference between a hospital stay vs at-home treatment with antiviral pills. Get tested at a #TestToTreat site as soon as you experience symptoms, get a prescription if eligible, & start treatment. https://aspr.hhs.gov/TestToTreat/Pages/process.aspx
