Jointly developed with a unique user-focus
s.a.m health was developed as part of an innovation project by ViiV Healthcare and the german AIDS organisation together with existing and previously unreached users and of STI testing services.
The combination of user-friendly online ordering and medically trained local support is unique in Germany to date and enables people of legal age to take charge of their sexual health and at the same time relieves the burden on public health facilities and doctors' offices.
Together with Münchner Aidshilfe and Labor Lademannbogen, the pilot of s.a.m health (then still S.A.M Mein Heimtest) was successfully launched in Bavaria in 2018 as the first service for home testing for HIV & STI with laboratory analysis, and the project was subsequently expanded to other nine federal states.
Coordinated by Deutsche Aidshilfe, the regional coverage of counseling services through partner checkpoints for s.a.m health is being continuously expanded. This provides s.a.m health with valuable access to regular HIV and STI testing, especially in rural areas.
