So, there are a few things to keep in mind. The window for the Mylan / Atomo test is 3 months post infection.
"The manufacturer of the Simplitude ByMe HIV Self Test say that their window period is 12 weeks (three months).If the sample is moisture from your mouth, the window period may be longer. "
Blood testing is more accurate. My guess is it will be used more commonly in doctor's offices and health care clinics. In either case the study recommends the TGA offer both testing methods. Blood testing is still preferred by 41%.
Doctors and clinics are likely to prefer blood testing and hopefully those create higher margins. "It isn’t quite as reliable as the tests used by medical professionals – in a study it gave an accurate result to 93% of people who had HIV and 99.9% of people who did not have HIV." https://www.aidsmap.com/about-hiv/home-hiv-testing-self-testing-and-self-sampling
I really want to know if Atomo's device can be applied to concussion testing.
