Re: Use of rapid saliva test for HIV by truck drivers

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

This in reference to the " surakshit Yatra " campaign. How can the yatra be

surakshit? Without a proper pre-test counselling it it can lead to all the

undesirable problems a truck driver may land in!

Dear FORUM,

This is with reference to Surkshit Yatra.

I thing it is unethical to diagnose HIV only on Saliva and that again without

medical/health personnel. Pretest counseling is must. What will truck drivers

will do if the test is positive & they have travelling.
