Rainlover. Do you think Australia will eventually use rapid hiv tests to combat the hiv rates in Australia. I know Australia has great resources but read that they have not implemented point of care rapid tests.

They started the trials in some sydney clinics but are only avaliable to MSM.The rest of the Australian population does not have access to these rapid tests,it's incredible that New Zealand has had rapid tests for a long time now and here in Australia we don't.You can blame the government for that.

In November Australia started the rapid trials on MSM 18 years of age and older.
