  abstract = {{T}he {COVID}-19 syndemic has disproportionately affected socially vulnerable populations, such as low-income individuals, {I}ndigenous peoples, and riverine communities. {S}ocial {D}eterminants of {H}ealth ({SDH}) have played a crucial role in the state of {A}mazonas, where unique geography and social disparities pose significant challenges to health access and equity. {T}his article examines whether and how {SDH} were considered during {COVID}-19 testing planning in {A}mazonas. {F}or this analysis, we conducted a qualitative case study through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders involved in testing planning and implementation. {O}fficial documents were systematized using {TID}ie{R}-{PHP}, and data were analyzed using the {REFLEX}-{ISS} tool. {SDH} were not considered in testing planning in {A}mazonas. {T}he respondents could not all agree on the importance of considering {SDH} in intervention planning. {T}esting was limited to patients with severe symptoms and specific categories of essential workers. {H}ealth policymakers need to understand the relevance of considering {SDH} in planning population interventions to ensure equitable policy implementation.},
