Description
Summary:Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection has been regarded as one of the major public health concerns affecting the general population worldwide. Even though, many people are getting appropriate treatment, many more have not been able to access the same due to not being diagnosed. In other words, diagnosis is the crucial step to ensure that all the infected people are benefited and for averting all the adverse consequences. The World Health Organization has advocated for HIV self-testing in various population groups based on the evidence that most of the high-risk population groups are more comfortable with self-testing instead of going to the health care establishments. In conclusion, it is important to acknowledge that the process to save lives from the infection actually starts with detecting the infection at the earliest. The newly proposed recommendations will be of immense utility for the policy makers to expedite their battle against the infection.
