Getting an early diagnosis of HIV is important to start the treatment early and take steps to prevent the virus from spreading to others. The HIV Rapid test comprises of drawing a small amount of blood (normally via finger prick) with three possible results; negative, reactive and invalid. These results are directional in nature and need to be sent to a laboratory for confirmation.
There is no special preparation required for this test.
....Read MoreAn HIV rapid card test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of HIV antibodies in blood, saliva, or urine. It's called "rapid" because it provides results within 20 minutes, making it an ideal option for clinics and mobile testing units that need quick results.
One limitation of the HIV rapid card test is that it can only detect antibodies produced by the body in response to an HIV infection. It cannot detect the virus itself or early stages of infection where antibody production may be low or absent.
One reason why an HIV rapid test can give a false result is due to human error. If the test isn't administered correctly or if the person administering the test misreads the results, then it can lead to inaccurate results.
If you suspect that you might have been exposed to HIV, don't hesitate to get tested using an FDA approved rapid card test kit. This type of testing has been proven to be easy, convenient, and reliable when done correctly by a trained healthcare provider.
