More Information About our HIV at Home Testing Kit
HIV home test kits are self-testing devices that allow individuals to test themselves for HIV in the privacy of their own homes. These kits are designed to provide fast results, offering a confidential way to assess HIV status without the need to visit a clinic or laboratory. Here's some useful information about HIV home test kits:
This test uses a swab inside the mouth to collect oral fluid, which is then tested for HIV antibodies. Results typically appear in about 20-40 minutes.
The test is easy to use, and no blood is required. However, please note that it can take longer for HIV antibodies to appear in oral fluid compared to blood.
The HIV Home Testing has a 3-month window period which means the test is most accurate when there have been no sexual encounters from the past 3 months till the day of taking the home test.
If you are interested in an HIV Home Test Kit please reach out to Nick Robinson at 718.808.1359, nrobinson@pridecentersi.org
