SAMA calls on the government to regulate HIV home testing kits sale

We closed off the show with an interview with Dr Norman Mabasa – From the South African Medical Association. The South African Medical Association has called on Government to regulate the sale of HIV home testing kits in order to prevent these kits from being sold to private individuals. SAMA implores Government to regulate the sale of these kits, and also make it compulsory for counselling to be available via the merchant when it is sold. Dr Mabasa says people should rather use the standard enzyme immunoassay tests.
