EmailFDA Approves Over-the-Counter HIV Test
The Food and Drug Administration just approved the first over-the-counter HIV test, allowing people to test for AIDS in their own home.
The OraQuick Test requires people to swab the inside of their mouths. It takes about 20 minutes to get results.
The FDA stressed the test isn’t 100 percent accurate, but officials hope it will encourage more people to see if they carry the virus.
