Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have any questions?
Our team is here to help with any questions about our self-screening kits or your order.
Is OraQuick® HIV Self-Test an antibody test? How does it work?
Yes, OraQuick® HIV Self-Test is an antibody test. It detects antibodies produced by the body’s immune system in response to HIV infection.
When HIV enters the body, the immune system begins producing antibodies. Although these antibodies cannot eliminate the virus, their presence can indicate possible HIV infection. Most HIV screening tests detect antibodies rather than the virus itself.
If HIV is not transmitted through saliva, why does OraQuick® use oral fluid?
HIV is not spread through saliva. OraQuick® HIV Self-Test uses oral fluid to detect antibodies to HIV, not the virus itself.
The antibodies present in oral fluid reflect those found in blood. Therefore, the test can identify HIV antibodies using an oral swab without requiring a blood sample.
What is the accuracy of HIV testing using oral fluid?
Oral fluid HIV testing has demonstrated high accuracy in clinical studies. OraQuick® HIV Self-Test has been shown to correctly identify individuals with HIV infection and those without infection at high rates.
As with all screening tests, reactive results must be confirmed with laboratory testing.
Is the liquid in the test tube dangerous if swallowed or exposed to eyes?
The liquid in the test tube is not considered toxic in the small amount provided. However, it is not intended for ingestion.
If accidental ingestion occurs and you are concerned, consult a healthcare professional.
If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water immediately.
If the test cannot be completed due to contamination or spillage, use a new test kit.
