Home HIV test

Wondering whether or not you have Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is probably the scariest thing you will ever have to face. While the social stigma and lifespan of people with HIV is much improved from what it was in the 1980s, it is still a very serious disease with life changing ramifications that cannot be taken lightly. In fact, testing positive for HIV can impact everything in your life. This makes it something that you want to keep private and personal—from taking the HIV test to receiving the results.

That is exactly what makes home HIV test kits so very helpful. Home HIV test kits, at least the ones that have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are safe, reliable and extremely private. No more sitting in a doctor’s office, scared, shaking and hating every minute of the visit. Instead, you can take the home HIV test kit’s finger prick applicator and draw a little blood from the tip of one of your fingers. Get the blood on the special paper supplied within the home HIV test kit and then send it off to the lab for testing. You will be given a special personal identification number in the kit so that no one even knows you have taken the home HIV test or sent off your blood to the lab. Within a few weeks the lab will have analyzed your blood sample and you can call in to get your results.
