Product description

This is a home HIV test (4th generation). It is a blood test which checks for the following:

  • HIV-1 antibodies
  • HIV-2 antibodies
  • HIV-1 p24 antigen

Why do this test? 

The home HIV test is a screening test to see if a person has HIV infection. It can show an infection any time from 2 weeks after the person is infected but a test after 45 days would be best. The home HIV test will pick up 100% of infections, but a small number of positive tests will be wrong ( 0.5% false positive rate). Positive HIV tests can be confirmed using specialised testing**.

Results: 

Results take 1 working day after the sample is received at the laboratory * and will be e-mailed to you with a doctor's explanation. 

* Indicative timings only. Actual result may be earlier or slightly later.

** Please note that confirmatory testing is not possible on a finger prick sample because of insufficient blood volume. In case of a positive test, the client will need to do a VENOUS test for confirmation. This test can be ordered online and done at The Doctors Laboratory Patient Reception in London.

How does it work?

2. Home STI test kit will be posted to you. Return sample using postage-paid envelope.
