With an exact ratio of more than 99.7%, the kit was initially sold online for only £ 29.95 (about VND 990,000).

This interesting product is developed by BioSURE , a bio-equipment company. Researchers thoroughly tested the effectiveness of the kit. Accordingly, it correctly diagnosed 999 out of 1,000 negative samples and 997 out of 1,000 positive samples.

When trying to test HIV, users only need to inject a little blood on their fingers, The Mirror said.

With the development of modern medicine, HIV can be controlled by effective treatments. However, late detection of the disease can have a very bad effect on the health and life expectancy of infected people, according to The Mirror.
