Oral Fluid Swab Tests: These kits (like the OraQuick HIV Self-Test) require you to swab your upper and lower gums and dip the test stick into a provided vial of developer solution. Results typically appear in 20 to 40 minutes.
Rapid Blood Tests: These kits (such as the INSTI HIV Self Test) require a small finger-prick blood sample and provide highly accurate results in as little as one minute.
Mail-In Collection Kits: Instead of testing the sample yourself, you collect a dried blood sample at home using a finger-prick and mail it to a laboratory. Results are then provided by a healthcare provider a few days later.

FAQ
Q: Do HIV test kits really work?
A: There will still be rare cases where someone is HIV positive and not picked up. However, HIV tests are one of the more accurate tests for any medical infection. Tests showing a negative result are 'interpreted' as negative. If the result is negative three months after exposure your result is interpreted as negative.
Q: How many days HIV test positive?
A: Antibody tests can usually detect HIV 23 to 90 days after exposure. Most rapid tests and self-tests are antibody tests. A rapid antigen/antibody test done with blood from a finger stick can usually detect HIV 18 to 90 days after exposure.
Q: How far away is a cure for HIV?
A: Newer reports coming daily have encouraging outcome. Some of these trials are nearing the winning post. We could expect a sterilizing cure for HIV disease within another 5-10 years.
Q: What is the 90 90 90 rule for HIV?
A: The 90-90-90 rule is an ambitious global treatment target established by UNAIDS designed to diagnose, treat, and suppress HIV, with the ultimate goal of ending the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat.
Milk: While once believed to soothe ulcers, it actually prompts your stomach to produce more acid.
Q: Where do HIV rashes appear?
A: An HIV-related rash can appear anywhere on the body, but it most commonly develops on the trunk (chest, back, and abdomen) and the face. It can also frequently spread to the limbs (arms and legs), as well as the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
