Racing for results: lessons learnt in improving the efficiency of HIV viral load and early infant diagnosis result delivery from laboratory to clinic.

In pursuit of the 90-90-90 goals, emphasis has been placed on accelerating centralized-laboratory HIV viral load testing of a population that is largely rural and decentralized. Successful outcome requires effective specimen transport, laboratory testing, and results delivery. This paper focuses on the methods currently employed for results delivery.
