Uganda markets flooded by fake HIV home kits

 

It now looks that Uganda markets are like a dumping area for all poor quality products from China and other countries in Europe, America.

We are told that Uganda’s markets are flooded by fake HIV Home Kits for Self HIV Testing. Sources in Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) told us that these fake HIV testing Kits are imported from Chine and also India.

They are sold for only 3,000 Uganda shillings (about £0.80 pence). The minister for trade in Uganda government, Madam Amelia Kyambade urges Ugandans to visit proper HIV/AIDS Blood Testing Centres the government established in different parts of Uganda than relying on fake HIV testing kits sold in Kampala.

The minister says that whoever buys these HIV kits is risking his or her life and the lives of loved ones alike. The kits are suspected to be causing cancer once one uses them.
