many still regard hiv as a death sentence
I had my very first hivselftest on 14th July 2016, I do test at gum clinics regularly. My partner and I are both hiv negative. Coming from a highly population of hiv infected ethnicity I have so much experience and people do have the knowledge of hiv and it’s risks but still shun testing and everyday new hiv patients are increasing now it’s a global issue. Testing at home will benefit the majority only those who can have guts to do it, many still regard hiv as a death sentence and shun to go for checks for fear of stigma. I shared my results on Facebook social media to raise awareness and I made a video testing myself and posted it in Youtube for people to get encouraged. I wish the all World can legalise hivselftest.
