Description
The OraQuick In-Home HIV Test is a private, and accurate way to test for HIV in your own home. It is the same test preferred by many public health professionals. The OraQuick In-Home HIV Test is an in-vitro diagnostic home-use test for HIV (HIV-1 and HIV-2) in oral fluid. This test works by looking for your body's response (antibodies) to fighting the HIV virus. A positive result is preliminary and follow-up confirmatory testing is needed. CDC recommends that everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 get tested at least once for HIV. People with certain risk factors should be tested more often.
