The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has approved a 60 second HIV test... YES let me repeat that... 60 SECONDS and you will have your HIV status... I am speechless. The new test called INSTI by bioLytical Laboratories of Canada will test for HIV-1 Antibodies very similar to UniGold which is commonly used presently throughout community based organizations and AIDS services organizations. We are embarking onto new territory with Rapid Testing.
Testing is a very serious ordeal when an individual decide to learn there status and I am afraid that 60 seconds isn't enough time to provide Pre and/or Post Test Counseling which is recommended when a person is being tested...
So what do you think about 60 seconds or less? I can't wait to see your responses!
