Confidentiality is one of the values ​of the testing program and it allows the diagnosis of those infected , without affecting their social life . “ I am very satisfied that I am involved in the outreach testing activity , with the mobile laboratory ! In the context of the pandemic and with all the imposed restrictions , outreach testing provides the necessary answer to an extensive series of limitations such as : the travel ban , the increased risk of COVID-19 for the special categories we test , the limited access of the vulnerable people to Hep-HIV testing and , if diagnosed with one of the infections , the delayed patients ’ access to treatment . We , practically , bring the solution where there is a greater need for it ! We are rewarded by the high interest of all those we manage to reach out with this service : on a personal level , I am happy whenever I see objective information we provide meets a real need .” - Iuliana Costaș , Testing Counsellor
