HIV home-testing kits can improve rates of diagnosing sexually transmitted infections in rural communities and help people who are nervous about going to the doctor to seek a sensitive test, said Dr. Joseph Cherabie, an infectious diseases specialist in St. Louis.“You really want to get people to care as quickly as possible, but some people could be very anxious about that results as well,” Cherabie said. “And they have very negative reactions.”

Labs are required to report a positive HIV test, instead of putting the onus on the patient who took the test, Cherabie said, and and, often, the patient is matched up with HIV support services.“If you are part of a sexual and gender minority community, going to a doctor’s office can be full of a lot of historical trauma, and you may prefer to just do testing at home without anyone judging you or asking you invasive questions about your sex life,” Cherabie said.The new cervical cancer test — which tests for strains of human papillomavirus, or HPV — involves a testing swab that’s like a tampon, said Dr. Susan Modesitt, a gynecologic oncologist at Emory University in Atlanta.

It is not, Modesitt said, a replacement for a Pap smear, the exam in which a metal speculum is inserted in the vagina to scrape cervix cells. A doctor’s visit also involves a pelvic exam, a chance to talk about abnormal bleeding — a sign of endometrial cancer — and other symptoms and issues, like menopause or STIs.“There are so many other reasons to see your doctor and get an exam outside of a cervical cancer screening,” she said.

Some at-home tests can replace a trip to the doctor’s office. That’s especially true in rural areas, where it can be difficult to get a colonoscopy.

“The colonoscopy requires a pre-op, and you have to drive maybe 70 miles for it,” said Dr. Steven Furr, board chair of the American Academy of Family Physicians who practices in rural Alabama. “You get anesthesia. It’s actually almost like a surgical procedure in many ways.“Estados Unidos ha provocado unilateralmente nuevas fricciones económicas y comerciales, exacerbando la incertidumbre e inestabilidad de las relaciones económicas y comerciales bilaterales”, mientras que China ha mantenido sus compromisos, dice el comunicado.

También amenazó con represalias no especificadas, diciendo que China “continuará tomando medidas resueltas y contundentes para salvaguardar sus derechos e intereses legítimos”.Trump generó más controversia el viernes, diciendo que ya no será amable con China en el comercio, declarando en una publicación en redes sociales que el país había roto un acuerdo con Estados Unidos.

Horas después, Trump declaró en la Oficina Oval que hablará con el presidente chino Xi Jinping y “espero que lo resolvamos”, mientras seguía insistiendo en que China había violado el acuerdo.“La mala noticia es que China, quizás no sorprendentemente para algunos, HA VIOLADO TOTALMENTE SU ACUERDO CON NOSOTROS”, publicó Trump. "¡Qué bien me salió ser el tipo amable!”
