Findings/Key points

Our Healthbox meets people where they are, with what they need for their health and well-being: A 'smart', interactive dispensing machine that provides low barrier access to self-testing kits for HIV and COVID-19, plus essential harm reduction and sexual health supplies. It's also a machine that provides health information, and a support services directory for people to find the health care they need – in their community.

REACH Nexus is committed on implementing Our Healthbox in Canada, particularly in areas where there is the highest need for people with complex health and social needs and people who have barriers to accessing HIV testing, harm reduction materials, treatment, care and prevention. Implementation for Our Healthbox must be partnered with a community-based organization, health centre or public health authority.
