All‑in‑one self‑test designed to make your testing experience easier
Taking an HIV test can give you much needed peace of mind, allowing you to know your HIV status and take control, whether your results are negative or positive. For the results to be accurate, you will need to complete the self-test at least 12 weeks after any possible HIV exposure. If positive, an early diagnosis will enable you to access effective HIV treatment that stops the progression of the virus and eliminates the risk of transmission, by making the virus undetectable*. If it’s positive, it means that the HIV test is reactive to your antibodies.

What to do if my HIV test result is negative/positive?
HIV is a treatable condition, and an early diagnosis means that you can access treatment sooner and improve your chances of controlling the virus.
- Negative result: If your HIV self-test is negative, stay informed and keep in mind when and why to continue testing. Encourage others to test too.
- Positive result: If your home HIV test is positive, it means that it is reactive to your antibodies. It is important that you go to a HIV clinic for further testing.
An early diagnosis will enable you to access effective HIV treatment that stops the progression of the virus and eliminates the risk of transmission by making the virus undetectable*.
*Undetectable = Untransmittable; it means that if a person living with HIV stays undetectable for 6 months or more while on treatment, they cannot transmit HIV through intercourse.
