Rapid tests to help tackle Glasgow's HIV outbreak

Rapid tests to help tackle Glasgow's HIV outbreak New HIV tests that provide results in minutes have been introduced in Glasgow to help tackle the worst outbreak of the infection in decades.

Drug users sharing needles are in the group most affected by the surge of HIV cases in Scotland's biggest city.

Previously, test results could take up to two weeks to come back from the laboratory and it could be difficult to trace people to tell them the outcome. BBC News
