Abstract

According to the United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS, approximately 39 million people were living with HIV in 2022. Rapid diagnostic methods are of great interest to the pharmaceutical industry and governments due to the lower manufacturing cost and high population reach. This article aims to map patents related to rapid HIV diagnosis, identify those that use CRISPR technology and discuss market perspectives. This is a patentometric study, with consultations carried out in June 2024 on the websites Espacenet, Google Patents and the National Institute of Industrial Property. The use of CRISPR technology for diagnosis could allow low-income countries to scale up HIV self-testing. North America leads the HIV self-testing market with a 31.06% share, while China has been establishing partnerships with countries in Africa, which can drive improvements in public health and provide people-centered solutions, increasing      universal coverage.
