HIV tests for sale on High Street for first time

HIV tests for sale on High Street for first time HIV self-testing kits are now available to buy on the High Street for the first time, a retailer has announced.

Superdrug said it is now selling the BioSURE test, which provides a result in 15 minutes, in all of its 200 pharmacy stores in the UK for £33.95.

It had previously been available to buy online after becoming the first legally approved self-testing kit in 2015.

An HIV charity welcomed the announcement but added that many people would be unable to afford the test. BBC News
