First HIV home test gets approval for use in USA via @independent_ie.

US HEALTH regulators said they have approved OraSure Technologies Inc‘s in-home test for HIV, making it the first over-the-counter, self-administered test for the virus that causes AIDS.

The Food and Drug Administration gave its green light to the OraQuick In-Home HIV Test, which within 20 to 40 minutes provides results from an oral fluid sample taken by swabbing the upper and lower gums inside the mouth.
