Kenya's HIV screening program, one of Africa's largest, performs approximately 10 million tests annually. Trinity Biotech expects to receive additional orders throughout 2024, as Kenya has secured funding from sponsors like Global Fund and USAID for all 10 million required tests. The new HIV testing algorithm, including TrinScreen HIV, will be implemented in January 2024. The company sees this as a significant opportunity to expand its presence in the HIV screening market across Africa, which is part of a global market estimated at 150 million tests annually.
