| Farber | In 1994 the [WHO’s Bangui AIDS] definition was updated to suggest the use of HIV tests, but in practice they are prohibitively expensive. |
| Gallo | Footnote 4 further states that HIV tests are prohibitively expensive in Africa. HIV tests are widely available across Africa. They are not prohibitively expensive for large numbers of people. |
| RA | A copy of the reporting form for AIDS cases in both South Africa and Uganda can be found at: aids-kritik.de/aids/SA/meldeformulare.htm. This shows that in South Africa one has to report whether or not an HIV test has been done in an Aids case (i.e. an HIV test is optional). In Uganda the Ministry of Health’s form does not even ask for an HIV test. |
