CONNECT is a federally funded pilot project which is testing the use of vending machines to dispense free HIV self-test kits, in order to overcome financial, social, and cultural barriers to testing.
We have five vending machines set up across the city: there are two at the University of Adelaide, one at UniSA City West campus, one at UniSA Mawson Lakes campus, and one at Pulteney 431 Sauna. Anyone can access the machines at the universities during business hours, and the exact location can be found on the CONNECT webpage: hivconnect.org.au The machines will be in place until the end of September (and we are currently trying to extend that until the end of the year).
We are promoting CONNECT via an outdoor campaign (you may have seen posters on buses and trams, billboards, bush shelters and telephone kiosks), through social media, and through community-based organisations and networks. We really hope that CONNECT is relevant to your communities and that your organisation will be willing to help spread the word.
