Globally, HIV was one of the top 10 causes in adolescents between the ages of 10-19 according to a study done by UNAIDS in 2019. HIV was also one of the top 5 causes of death for young girls aged between 10-14 years. This is why we want to create a simple but effective app that will educate children between the ages of 10-18 about how to protect themselves when found in a compromising situation.

STDs are potentially dangerous for those only who participate in sexual interactions; almost every mature in the world is affected. Avoiding these diseases is very important, but STDs are out of scope of our competitors.

According to UNAIDS, 0.18 million people are infected with HIV, whereas, among 50,000 Transgenders, the HIV prevalence rate is 7.1% in Pakistan. Fifty-two percent of transgender people report facing stigma and discrimination while accessing health facilities in Pakistan.

HIVST solution increases the level of confidentiality and privacy, decreases the discrimination associated with HIV testing and decreases the implication of the healthcare system. On the other hand, at the Testme4All team, we believe this solution still needs to be improved and this is what motivates us.

Currently, a prevalent driver of contracting HIV is a lack of awareness. There are often not enough preventative health measures for individuals with a high risk of HIV/AIDS, or resources to break down barriers that could hinder individuals from accessing reliable data, including for over 50 million individuals in the African Region and Eastern Europe who have a form of visual/hearing impairment.

The current pandemic has disrupted HIV care delivery. Health systems are using telemedicine to maintain HIV treatment adherence and care engagement. Current solutions are difficult to use and ancient. It requires downloading many applications and they have no integrations in between them. High-quality communications improve patient engagement in HIV care and better antiretroviral treatment.

Clinical research in developing regions has several challenges. Lack of funding and resources. Logistic challenges and inadequate human resources. Cultural challenges, not enough community engagement, and research agenda that is often set by donors.

By turning on the webcam during video calls, we reveal our face, identity, race/ ethnicity, disabilities and living conditions. We also don't always feel like putting our camera on when talking to other people over video calls. We are also unusually quiet (or muted) when listening to someone on these calls. What if we could have video calls, but still avoid all these issues?
