Now you can diagnose yourself for HIV virus with the world's very first self-testing kit in just 15 minutes.

The BioSURE HIV Self Test, which carries the European wide specialist CE mark, has passed thorough tests and only requires a pinprick of blood and is more than 99.7% accurate, the Mirror reported.

The test offers discretion and privacy to the people, who don't want to go out to hospitals until they are sure. It has been priced at £29.95 \, and will be initially sold only on line through BioSURE's dedicated website www.hivselftest.co.uk and through the NHS online shop www.freedoms-shop.com.

Brigette Bard, BioSure founder and CEO said that they believe their device could help to reduce HIV infection rates. However, the self-test may not detect recent HIV infection as it can take up to 3 months for the level of antibodies to become detectable.
