Yes OraQuick® HIV Self-Test is an antibody test and it detects the cells that the body’s immune (defense) system creates in response to HIV infection. When the HIV virus enters the body, the body starts to produce antibodies. In the case of HIV, the antibodies can’t fight off the infection. But, the presence of the antibodies can be used to tell whether a person has HIV in their body. Most of the HIV tests available detect the presence of HIV antibodies and not the virus itself.
Many credible medical institutes including CDC and multiple supporting studies confirm that HIV does not spread through saliva. The OraQuick® test detects antibodies produced in response to HIV infection, not the virus itself.
The oral fluid HIV tests are very accurate. Studies have shown that the OraQuick® HIV Self-Test detected 100 percent of people who were infected with HIV and 99.1 percent of people who were not infected with HIV.
