  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations revoke the HIV Testing Kits and Services Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/460), which make it an offence, subject to various exceptions—\nto sell or supply an HIV testing kit or component to a member of the public;\nto sell or supply an HIV testing kit without an accompanying warning notice; and\nto provide HIV testing services which are not directed by a registered medical practitioner.\nIn addition, the HIV Testing Kits and Services Regulations 1992 place restrictions on advertisements for such kits, components and services.\nThe Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.
