In Q4 2021 the jail changed the way they report their testing data. Now they just report their rapid tests, and whether they did a confirmatory test because the antibody test was positive. Prior to that, about 1/3 of their antibody tests were blood draws, which are now no longer reported.

We have a decreasing number of tests among people who are Black/African American. That's one place where we're really missing the mark thus far; we need to do a better job doing outreach in the Bayview neighborhood. Specifically, we need more Bayview-based outreach, and we need to address medical mistrust head-on. One of the barriers to testing services in the Bayview is the density - there's a lot more spread of folks, so a lot more to cover.

SFCHC has a community navigator who's actually from the Bayview; Sam Cuadra will connect with Kyoko at DeLIVER Care to see if they can support and improve success in outreach in that area. DeLIVER is looking for a Friday site, so this seems like a good way to proceed.

We also need to do more to build collaborations with providers in the Bayview specifically. Very few members of End Hep C SF are providers based in the Bayview, and we'd like to see a change in that membership over time!
