Atomo Diagnostics (ASX:AT1) has secured another purchase order from the National Association of People with HIV Australia (NAPWHA) for approximately $450,000 worth of HIV Self-Tests.
Atomo said it considers the revenue from this order to be material. The order supports ongoing delivery of the national free-to-user HIV Self-Testing program run by NAPHWA.
Funded by the Australian government under a new public HIV health policy announced in the May budget last year, the NAPWHA program has proven successful in increasing testing rates among key high-risk cohorts who had not been testing sufficiently or, in many cases, not testing at all.
The order from NAPWHA comes on the back of a large order earlier this year for HIV tests received from Thorne Harbour Health to support the national scale-up of the government-funded vending machine HIV self-testing program.
Atomo CEO John Kelly said, “We are very pleased with the positive response from the community to the at-home program and we will 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”
