Kenyans above 15 years will be able to purchase, perform the HIV test and interpret the results on their own and at their convenience. Those who test positive for HIV in either tests can visit a health facility for a re-test to confirm the results. In 2014, seven in 10 adult HIV tests reported in 76 low-and-middle-income countries were conducted on women, WHO states. It also states that a person has the right to refuse to take a HIV test or stop the procedure at any time. One can get more details on the campaign’s website: www.besure.co.ke on where to get the testing kits and videos demonstrating how to use the kits.
