截至今天，新西兰的Grindr用户可以在不到一分钟的时间内通过伯内特基金会直接从Grindr应用程序中嵌入的链接订购免费的HIV自检试剂盒。。

Grindr for Equality’s partnerships with public health organizations, launched nationally one year ago to expand free at-home HIV test kit distribution, has proven remarkably successful. Grindr for Equality works with Building Healthy Online Communities and others to enable Grindr users in the U.S. and a growing number of other countries, to order free HIV self-test kits by connecting them directly to self-testing partner organizations through the Grindr app.

Grindr for Equality与公共卫生组织的合作关系于一年前在全国范围内启动，旨在扩大家庭免费艾滋病毒检测试剂盒的分发，已被证明取得了巨大成功。Grindr for Equality致力于建立健康的在线社区和其他社区，使美国和越来越多的其他国家的Grindr用户能够通过Grindr应用程序将其直接连接到自检合作伙伴组织，订购免费的HIV自检试剂盒。

In 2023 alone, this program distributed more than 235,000 HIV test kits, many to Grindr users in the U.S. who had never previously been tested. This success inspires Grindr and the Burnett Foundation's efforts in New Zealand, where they aim to promote HIV testing awareness and education globally..

仅在2023年，该计划就分发了超过235000个HIV检测试剂盒，其中许多试剂盒是发给美国Grindr用户的，这些用户以前从未接受过检测。这一成功激励了格林德博士和伯内特基金会在新西兰的努力，他们的目标是在全球范围内提高艾滋病毒检测意识和教育。。

Today’s announcement builds on Grindr’s continued collaboration with the Burnett Foundation to promote safe sex practices nationwide. Over the last year, Grindr has helped to raise awareness for the HIV resources made available by the Foundation in New Zealand, periodically sharing in-app messages to encourage users to obtain self-test kits distributed by Burnett.

今天的公告建立在Grindr与伯内特基金会持续合作的基础上，以促进全国范围内的安全性行为。去年，Grindr帮助提高了人们对基金会在新西兰提供的艾滋病毒资源的认识，定期分享应用程序内消息，鼓励用户获得伯内特分发的自检工具包。

Now, Grindr users in New Zealand will be able to order these kits directly through the Grindr app around the clock..

现在，新西兰的Grindr用户可以通过Grindr应用程序全天候直接订购这些套件。。

“Grindr could not be more thrilled to expand in-app access to HIV self-testing to our community in New Zealand,” said Steph Niaupari of Grindr for Equality. “In launching similar initiatives in other countries, we’ve seen the tangible impact that in-app access can drive in increasing global access to HIV testing.

Grindr for Equality的Steph Niaupari说：“将应用程序内的艾滋病毒自我检测扩展到我们新西兰的社区，Grindr再高兴不过了。”。“在其他国家发起类似举措的过程中，我们看到了应用内访问在增加全球艾滋病毒检测机会方面所产生的切实影响。

We look forward to bringing similar programs to Grindr users around the world.”.

我们期待着为世界各地的Grindr用户带来类似的程序。”。

“We are incredibly excited to partner with Grindr to make HIV self-test kits more easily available across Aotearoa New Zealand,” said Joe Rich, Chief Executive at the Burnett Foundation. “We hope this will encourage more people in our communities to test for HIV regularly so they can know their status and enjoy great sexual health.

伯内特基金会（Burnett Foundation）首席执行官乔·里奇（JoeRich）表示：“我们非常高兴能与Grindr合作，使艾滋病毒自检试剂盒在新西兰奥特罗亚（Aotearoa）更容易获得。”。“我们希望这将鼓励我们社区中更多的人定期检测艾滋病毒，以便他们能够了解自己的状况并享受良好的性健康。

Testing for HIV regularly is a vital tool in helping us achieve an Aotearoa with zero HIV transmissions.”.

定期检测艾滋病毒是帮助我们实现艾滋病毒零传播的Aotearoa的重要工具。”。

Increasing access to testing remains one of the most valuable tools in the fight against the global HIV epidemic. Self-testing, in particular, offers a convenient and discreet alternative to in-person testing, which can pose obstacles such as clinic operating hours, transportation, and costs. These barriers can be even more pronounced for a variety of Grindr users, such as those living in rural areas and those who are not “out” to their families.

增加获得检测的机会仍然是抗击全球艾滋病毒流行的最有价值的工具之一。特别是自我测试，它为面对面测试提供了一种方便而谨慎的替代方案，这可能会带来诸如诊所工作时间，交通和成本等障碍。这些障碍对于各种Grindr用户来说可能更加明显，例如那些生活在农村地区的用户和那些不“外出”的用户。

Grindr is proud to partner with Burnett Foundation to help its users across New Zealand overcome these challenges, and to drive community-led progress towards eliminating HIV..

Grindr很自豪能与伯内特基金会合作，帮助新西兰各地的用户克服这些挑战，并推动社区主导的消除艾滋病毒的进展。。

Through Grindr’s partnership with Burnett Foundation, New Zealand becomes the fourth country in which users can order free HIV self-test kits directly through the Grindr app. Last November, Grindr partnered with MPOWER and Equality Movement to offer free HIV self-test kits through its app to users across Georgia and Ireland.

通过Grindr与伯内特基金会的合作，新西兰成为第四个用户可以直接通过Grindr应用程序订购免费艾滋病毒自检试剂盒的国家。去年11月，Grindr与MPOWER和Equality Movement合作，通过其应用程序向乔治亚州和爱尔兰的用户提供免费的HIV自检套件。

Today’s launch in New Zealand builds on Grindr’s commitment to advancing public health for the LGBTQ+ community globally. Grindr looks forward to collaborating with similar programs around the world..

今天在新西兰的推出是基于Grindr致力于促进全球LGBTQ+社区的公共卫生。Grindr期待着与世界各地类似的项目合作。。
