However, unknown to many, the torch basically gives a clue of what the Statue of Liberty once was, which is a lighthouse. It was in 1876 when the torch and the right hand that lifts it was completed by the great sculptor, Frederic Bartholdi.
Urine Test for HIV. A test that detects HIV antibodies in urine was approved by the FDA in 1996. This test is not generally available to consumers. It is usually marketed to insurance companies and to other countries. Note: urine has antibodies for HIV, not HIV itself, so HIV is not transmitted by urine.
The most common HIV test is a blood test. Newer tests can detect HIV antibodies in mouth fluid (not the same as saliva), a scraping from inside the cheek, or urine. Rapid HIV test results are available within 10 to 30 minutes after a sample is taken. In November 2010 the FDA approved the INSTI test, which gives results within 60 seconds. In 2012, the FDA approved the first true in-home HIV test. It uses a mouth swab and shows results in 20 to 40 minutes.
