HIV can infect anyone, regardless of age, race, or sexual orientation, so it’s important to get tested at least once in your lifetime (the CDC recommends more frequent screening for people at a greater risk of getting an HIV infection). If you suspect that you may have been infected with HIV, our HIV test kit is a convenient way to check.

With the our HIV home test, you can easily undergo HIV screening from the convenience of home.

Who is at increased risk for becoming infected with HIV?

People who engage in high-risk behavior like having unprotected (no latex condom use) vaginal or anal sex, people who have another sexually transmitted infection, people with multiple sexual partners, people who use or share intravenous needles to inject drugs, uncircumcised men, or people who have sexual contact with a known HIV- positive partner are the most at risk for contracting HIV. Additionally, pregnant women infected with HIV can pass the virus to their child during pregnancy.

By testing for the infection with our HIV test, you can learn your HIV status, which can help you seek treatment as soon as possible (if necessary) and lower your risk of infecting others. Our HIV antigen/antibody test is simple and discreet, making this kind of STD testing a convenient option to check your status.

The HIV antibody/antigen test checks whether or not you test positive for HIV.

This HIV test checks a sample of your blood for antibodies against HIV Antibodies are produced by your immune system when you’re exposed to a virus, like HIV.

Tests that only measure antibodies can take 23-90 days to detect an HIV infection after an exposure.

Our HIV test can usually detect an HIV infection in only 7 – 45 days after exposure because it also checks for HIV p24 antigens (viral proteins) in the blood. Tests that are both an HIV antigen test and an HIV antibody test are often referred to as 4th generation HIV tests.

We generally recommend getting tested as soon as possible & retest after 3 months.

In the event that your HIV test results are abnormal, our doctors will contact you directly to discuss your particular case as well as provide information on how to take the next steps to get treatment. We take customer privacy very seriously and will never share your information with a third-party.

Should I wait 3 months to get tested? In short, No. We recommend getting tested as soon as you can, STD test kits has come a long way and they are more accurate than ever. You can test as early as 7 days. (Just enough time for our test to arrive at your doorstep). We recommend getting a test as soon as you can and another test in 3 – 6 months.

The accuracy of our HIV test kit is around 98-99%.

Private clinics also uses rapid test kits as a preliminary test, similar to our STD / STI test kits.

A few weeks after being infected with HIV, you may develop flu-like symptoms such as:

• Fever
• Headache
• Sore throat
• Swollen lymph nodes (small glands in your neck)
• Rash

These symptoms usually disappear within a week to a month. You may have no other symptoms for many years.

If left untreated, HIV will continue to affect your immune system and lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Symptoms of AIDS include:

• Extreme, unexplained tiredness

• Prolonged shaking chills or fever
• Prolonged swelling of lymph nodes (small glands in your neck)
• Chronic diarrhea
• Persistent headaches

There’s no cure for HIV. However, medication can slow the damage the virus causes by lowering the amount of HIV in your blood. Medication makes it possible to live a long life—one just as long as you would have without HIV.

If you test positive for HIV, you will have the opportunity to speak with a board-certified healthcare provider about your results at no additional cost to you.
