JD Health’s Report: Non-Invasive HIV Test Kits Are Gaining Popularity
by Vivian Yang
JD Health and Wondfo Health, an instant medical test kits provider in China, jointly launched a report on 2020 HIV test products’ online consumption.
The report was launched on November 30th, one day ahead of the World AIDS Day on December 1st.
There are three main types of HIV self-testing products on the market in China. According to the report, in 2019, 49% of users chose blood test kits, while about 40% people opted for the combined methods of a blood test and an oral swab. In 2020, however, though the traditional blood test method continues to be people’s first choice, users who chose new methods of saliva or urine-based tests increased by 6% compared with 2019, showing a rising popularity of non-invasive methods.
People’s awareness of sexually transmitted diseases(STD) keeps rising, as the report shows. In the past two years, HIV tests accounted for 75% of tests for STD, while syphilis and hepatitis accounted for about 20% and 5 % respectively. In the third quarter of 2020, joint testing of HIV + syphilis and HIV + hepatitis B and C increased by nearly 10% compared with the same period last year.
According to the report, 90% of online buyers of HIV self-testing kits in year 2018-2019 are young males. But the report also points out that females, especially those from high-stakes rural areas, are facing growing risks. UNAIDS’ data revealed that, among the 1.7 million new HIV infections and patients found worldwide in 2018, 48% were female cases.
Additionally, the report highlights that 60% online buyers of HIV test kits are from first and second-tier cities in China.
A livestream event with Chinese epidemiologists is being held concurrently on November 30th on the topic of AIDS prevention and treatment.

JD Health Dispatches Expert Physician and Donates Critical Supplies for Earthquake Relief in Morocco
by Vivian Yang
JD Health is rapidly mobilizing resources to aid the ongoing earthquake relief efforts in Morocco. On September 14th, we dispatched an expert orthopedic doctor to collaborate with the international disaster response team led by the Beijing One Heart Sphere Charity Foundation. Additionally, we’re coordinating the delivery of essential medical supplies to support the mission.
Dr. Zhang Haijing, a veteran in medical relief with nearly two decades of specialized experience, will represent JD Health in Morocco. His extensive background includes involvement in flood relief, earthquake rescues, counter-terrorism operations, and mass event medical assistance. Since joining JD Health, Dr. Zhang has provided complimentary consultations to hundreds during emergency rescues, drawing from his expertise in wilderness first aid and medical rescue.
The volunteer team will depart at midnight on September 14th, Beijing time. They will bring an initial shipment of critical medical supplies, generously donated by JD Health in partnership with China’s leading medical product manufacturer, HYNAUT. The shipment includes essentials such as iodine swabs, sterile disinfectant swabs, waterproof dressings, adhesive tapes, surgical dressings, non-woven bandages, and N95 masks, among others.
At JD Health, we take immense pride in our team of full-time doctors—92% of whom have over a decade of clinical experience. In addition to offering daily online medical consultations, our doctors are committed to humanitarian work. They have been on the front lines of various disaster relief operations, both domestically and internationally. Following the devastating floods in Henan and Shanxi in 2021, our team provided critical on-site medical support and facilitated the donation of essential disinfection and pharmaceutical supplies. Earlier this year, when a severe earthquake hit West Asia, we were quick to mobilize resources, offering crucial support to local relief efforts. And just last month, we sent doctors to Zhuozhou in Hebei Province, an area heavily impacted by persistent torrential rains.
