  1. 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."

  2. 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:

    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.

    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.

  3. 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. aspr.hhs.gov/TestToTreat/Pages
