Q. What is the price for a home testing kit of HIV in India? Which are the reliable brands? Please explain the procedure of self testing?

A.  I do not believe in home testing kits for HIV. Reason: sometimes these kits may give false positive or false negative results. I suggest you should get yourself tested at any reliable laboratory.
