Your OraQuick HIV Self Test detects the specific antibodies to HIV (not actual HIV). It detects the antibodies to both HIV-1 and HIV-2

It is proven to be extremely effective at diagnosing HIV from multiple programmes conducted globally. It is also evidenced to be exceptionally usable and has a control line that can only appear if you have performed your test correctly.

It has a proven clinical sensitivity (if a person has HIV how often the test result will correctly be positive) of more than 99.9%. This means that on average 999 in every 1,000 positive results will be correct.

It has a proven clinical specificity (if a person doesn’t have HIV how often will the test result be correctly negative) of 99.8%, this means that on average 998 in every 1,000 negative results will be correct.

If you are at all unsure of your result you must go and see a healthcare professional to perform another test.

Your OraQuick HIV Self Test detects antibodies to HIV, not the virus itself.

Everybody makes antibodies at different rates and there needs to be antibodies in your oral fluid sample to be able to detect them. At 4 weeks it is very unlikely that you wil have enough antibodies to give a true positive test result.

If you think you may have been exposed to HIV within the last 4 weeks, you should see your local healthcare professional who may be able to send a sample of your blood for a laboratory test or use a different type of test which can detect the actual virus.
