HIV In-home Test Tax Exemption Amendment Act of 2025
This bill would remove the District of Columbia sales tax on HIV in-home tests, making these tests more affordable for District residents. Currently, these tests cost $40-$70, and the tax exemption would lower the effective price at the point of sale. The key provision amends the District’s tax code (section 47-2005) to add a specific exemption for HIV in-home tests. The change would apply once the bill is approved and the fiscal impact is included in the budget, as required by law.
