Calls to fast track approval of HIV home testing kits

HIV researchers want Australia to fast-track the approval of home testing kits as part of the effort to reduce the spread of the virus. Australians are able to buy kits online but they are not approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). The call is being made as the world marks World AIDS Day, 1 December
