Swaziland: New rapid HIV test makes determining status easier

The University of Swaziland last week became the first site of a new rapid HIV testing procedure which allows a greater number of people to be tested. "The approach of 'Negative Determination' is designed to make it easy for those who may still be negative to find that out, without having to go to hospitals or special voluntary counselling and testing centres (VCT)," said Tizzy Maphalala, programme coordinator for the UN children's fund (UNICEF).
