Frequently Asked Questions:

How accurate is the HIV 1 and 2 test?

Our HIV 1/2 Antibody Test boasts an impressive accuracy rate. When used correctly and within the appropriate window period of 23 to 90 days after exposure, the test provides reliable results in detecting HIV infection. However, following the instructions carefully is essential to ensure accurate outcomes. If you’re unsure, consult a medical professional. 

How to use the HIV 1/2 test kit?

Using our HIV 1/2 Self-Test is simple and convenient. Inside the kit, you’ll find all the necessary components and clear instructions to guide you through the process. Generally, the test involves a small blood sample, which can be obtained using a lancet provided in the kit. Once you have the blood sample, follow the step-by-step instructions to run the test. Within a few minutes, the test will indicate the presence of HIV 1 and 2 antibodies, and you’ll have your results.

What is an HIV 1/2 antibody test?

The HIV 1/2 antibody test is a type of screening test that looks for antibodies produced by the immune system in response to HIV infection. It can detect both HIV type 1 and type 2 antibodies in the blood. HIV 1 is the most common type worldwide, while HIV 2 is predominantly found in certain regions. This test is not designed to detect the virus itself but rather the body’s response to the infection. It is essential to keep in mind the window period of 23 to 90 days after exposure, during which the body may not have produced detectable levels of antibodies yet. Therefore, testing within this period may yield false-negative results. Always ensure you wait for the appropriate time to get accurate outcomes.

Instructions for Using the HIV 1/2 Antibody Test Kit:

Remember to read and follow the instructions carefully for accurate results. If you have any questions or concerns, consult the provided user manual or contact our customer support for assistance.

1. Prepare the Lancet: Take out the sterile lancet provided in the kit. Carefully remove the cap, exposing the needle. Position the lancet on a clean area of your fingertip.
2. Draw Blood Sample: Press the lancet firmly against your fingertip until you hear a soft click. This will create a small puncture to draw the blood. Allow a drop of blood to form.
3. Use the Capillary Pipette: Take the capillary pipette provided in the kit. Gently touch the pipette to the blood drop. The pipette will collect the required sample, which is indicated by a black line on the pipette.
4. Deposit Blood into Vial: Open the vial provided in the kit. Carefully deposit the collected blood sample from the pipette into the vial. Once done, securely screw the vial’s cap back on.
5. Apply the Sample to the Test Cassette: Locate the sample well (marked as “S”) on the test cassette. Add exactly 3 drops of the liquid from the vial into the sample well.
6. Wait for 10 Minutes: Set a timer for 10 minutes and allow the test to run. Avoid disturbing the test during this time.
7. Read the Result: After 10 minutes, check the test cassette for the result. Look for any visible lines or symbols. A control line (C) should always appear, indicating the test is valid. If a test line (T) also appears, it means the test detected HIV antibodies.

Results Interpretation:

Negative Result: If the test shows a negative result, it means no HIV antibodies have been detected in the sample, or their concentration is below the test’s cut-off level. If you have not been exposed to the virus in the past 3 months, it’s possible that your body has not yet produced detectable antibodies. In such cases, it’s recommended to repeat the test after 3 months to ensure accurate results.

Positive Result: If the test shows a positive result, it indicates that HIV antibodies have been detected in the sample, suggesting a possible seropositive condition. This result requires immediate attention and follow-up with a specialist or healthcare provider for further testing and confirmation. A positive result does not necessarily mean you have AIDS, but it does indicate the presence of HIV antibodies in your system, which warrants prompt medical evaluation.

In Summary: A negative result means no HIV antibodies were found (or they are too low to detect), and a repeat test after 3 months is advisable if recent exposure is suspected. A positive result means HIV antibodies were detected, and it’s crucial to seek immediate medical guidance from a specialist for further evaluation and appropriate care. Your health and well-being are our priority, so please take any positive result seriously and seek professional assistance promptly.
