Community-based testing refers to an approach by which targeted testing services are implemented in community settings so that they can be accessed, and used, by affected and marginalised people who may be unable, or reluctant, to access such services at public health facilities, such as at major hospitals. Community settings can include one or more of the following: fixed venues; mobile testing
units; outreach sites; through home visits; and also through community-based organisations such as buildings used for religious practices, such as churches and mosques; parks; homeless shelters; needle and syringe programmes; educational environments; and workplaces, amongst others.
This HCV Community Testing Starter Kit is designed to assist services for, and by people who use drugs and their peers to implement quality HCV testing services. It was developed with support of experts from cummunity based organisations of people who

Caso (Consumers Associated Survive Organized) Porto
Stockholm Drug User Union
ProLAR Nett, Oslo
The harmreduction organisations
Fixpunkt e.V., Berlin
