The Health Administration Institute (IASAÚDE) confirms that the new HIV self-test is now available in pharmacies and non-prescription drug sales outlets (MSNRM) throughout the region.
However, IASAÚDE has stated that anyone buying the kit should be made aware of the following information.
– Advise on the proper use of the test in order to correctly use and interpret the results obtained.
– Understand the possibility of false positive or negative results and likelihood of their occurrence.
– Advise on action to be taken in case of positive, negative or undetermined result.
– Advise that no clinical measures be taken without consulting a healthcare professional.
