Frequently Asked Questions
What is Generic N/A HIV Self Test Kit - 1 Test Unit used for?
This diagnostic device is used for the qualitative detection of antibodies to HIV (type 1 and type 2) to screen for HIV infection.
How should I store Generic N/A HIV Self Test Kit - 1 Test Unit?

Important Clinical Considerations
A reactive (positive) self-test result is a preliminary screening and must be confirmed by a qualified healthcare professional through supplemental testing before any medical decisions are made. Because of the window period during which antibodies may not yet be detectable after recent exposure, a negative result taken too soon after potential exposure should be repeated after a few weeks or evaluated by a clinician.
