The HIV pandemic disproportionately impacts sub-Saharan Africa where in 2017, 71% of people living with HIV resided, 65% of new infections and 75% of deaths were reported. Prevention, screening and treatment strategies have led to progress in addressing this disease. HIV diagnostics have been crucial for prevention and treatment but more progress is required to reduce HIV infection. The Center for Innovation in Point-of-Care Technologies for HIV/AIDS at Northwestern University (C-THAN) is a vital partner in the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering Point-of-Care Technologies Research Network. C-THAN's mission is to develop and commercialize a pipeline of point-of-care technologies critical for improved prevention and management of HIV in low- and middle-income countries with specific emphasis on sub-Saharan Africa.
艾滋病毒大流行对撒哈拉以南非洲地区的影响尤为严重，2017年，该地区有71%的艾滋病毒感染者，报告了65%的新感染病例和75%的死亡病例。预防、筛查和治疗策略已在应对这一疾病方面取得进展。艾滋病毒诊断对于预防和治疗至关重要，但要减少艾滋病毒感染还需要取得更多进展。西北大学艾滋病毒/艾滋病即时检测技术创新中心（C-THAN）是美国国立生物医学成像和生物工程研究所即时检测技术研究网络的重要合作伙伴。C-THAN的使命是开发一系列即时检测技术并将其商业化，这些技术对于改善低收入和中等收入国家（尤其侧重于撒哈拉以南非洲地区）的艾滋病毒预防和管理至关重要。
