To the relief of many an Australian citizen out there, the federal government has finally lifted the ban on restricting the manufacture and sales of HIV home-testing kit.
This move by the government will ensure the immediate availability of the home-testing kits for anxious customers who wish to check themselves against the virus.
The federal health minister Peter Dutton has been quoted saying, "Home self-testing provides an additional testing option that complements current options and allows people living with HIV to learn their HIV status and seek appropriate treatment and support. It also overcomes some of the most common concerns people have about receiving the test in a medical setting and giving them more choice."

The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) concluded a three-day session of discussion and debate in Geneva on Thursday that established a framework for combating the disease in the future.
The meeting of the UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board, the 34th of its kind, focused on ensuring the inclusion of HIV in post-2015 sustainable development goals, social protection and ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
The Board also called on UNAIDS and U.N. member states to pursue a clear commitment to ending AIDS as a public health threat, and stressed that achieving that goal includes the reduction of new HIV infections, stigma and discrimination of those living with HIV and AIDS-related deaths by 90 percent compared to 2010 levels.

A Professor of Medicine at the College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, Salami Kazeem, has said that Nigeria ranks as the third HIV/AIDS most heavily burdened country, after India and South Africa.
He added that Africa carried the global heaviest burden of HIV/AIDS; and that about 3.5 million Nigerians are currently living with the virus.
He spoke at the Unilorin's 149th inaugural lecture on Monday, in a lecture entitled, "Realities of living with HIV.'
Kazeem said although the national median prevalence of HIV had reduced in recent years, the reality was that the number of people living with the virus had increased by almost 500,000 in three years.
