Beard, R. Suzanne; Kasipo, Charles (2016) C1

This document provides technical and programmatic recommendations on the approp ... riate specimen storage and transportation of specimens for HIV VL and IVHD testing. Along with the national guidelines for specimen storage and transport, these standards should provide guidance on the creation or improvement of specimen referral networks and specimen transport systems.
