If you think there is any reason to believe that you might have HIV or other HIV-related issues, you must take an HIV test. The most efficient method to do it is by using an HIV test kit at home. In this article, we'll cover all you should be aware of regarding HIV testing kits. We'll also discuss the standard HIV test kit cost.

What is HIV?

HIV (the Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a severe virus that is usually contracted by contact bodily fluids. For instance, when sexual encounters occur, which includes vaginal, anal, or sometimes oral sexual relations. You can't contract HIV by sweating or urinating.

HIV can be contracted through sharing needles that are contaminated as well, and in some extreme instances surgery, specifically in countries that have sterilization practices aren't strictly enforced. Another way that to contract HIV is through a mother and her child, either during breastfeeding or childbirth.

Any contact with bodily fluids that contain HIV including vaginal or anal liquids, blood or breastmilk, must be followed by a HIV testing kit.

Testing is not permitted up to 28 days following potential exposure.

What is the signs for HIV?

In most cases, there aren't immediately apparent signs. However, there are some who suffer from flu-like symptoms, such as:

  • Diarrhea
  • Headache
  • Sore throat
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle pains and aches

If you are experiencing symptoms, they will go away within a few days or weeks. After that, the virus could remain inactive for several years before it progresses.

What is an HIV Test kit?

HIV tests are a safe and safe method to test for HIV. With an at-home HIV testing kit you will not require a visit to a doctor. Also, you don't have to visit the hospital. Instead, follow the directions on the label of your kit.

Typically, when using the device, it is placing a tiny drop of blood in a container. It is important to be sterile when doing it. Cleansing equipment will be provided.

After that, you should label the sample , and then send it to the post. A lab will discreetly examine your blood for antibodies as well as the antigen p24. Together, they're 99.9 percent accurate when screening for HIV.

In the end, you'll be notified of your results either by email, phone or mail, depending on the method you select.

If you are positive, the results must be confirmed with an even more reliable test like the Western Blot.
