The document discusses expanding access to HIV testing and diagnosis options in Brazil to promote equality and universal access. It outlines the evolution of HIV diagnostic technologies from 1986 to the present, including the development of home sample collection kits, point-of-care rapid tests, and oral fluid tests. Most recently, the Brazilian Ministry of Health proposed allowing the sale of HIV self-test kits in drugstores to further increase testing rates as part of efforts to achieve the UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals of diagnosing and treating people with HIV.
