Important Information and Guidelines for Using the OraQuick HIV Self-Test Kit

Important Information:

• Do not eat or drink for 15 minutes before performing your test.
• Avoid using oral cleaning products (toothpaste, mouthwash) for at least 30 minutes before the test.
• Read your result after 20 minutes but not after 40 minutes from performing the test.
• The OraQuick HIV Self-Test detects antibodies to both HIV-1 and HIV-2.

Testing Timing and Window Period:

• You can test from 4 weeks after your most recent exposure.
• A negative result within 12 weeks of exposure is encouraging but not conclusive due to the "window period."
• Antibody production (seroconversion) varies among individuals, so by 4 weeks, about half of people have detectable antibodies, and by 6 weeks, about 95% have detectable antibodies.
• Some individuals may not produce antibodies until later. By 12 weeks, 99.9% of people have made antibodies.
• If you test within 12 weeks of a possible exposure and the result is negative, retest 12 weeks after the exposure.

Positive Result and Confirmation:

• A positive result is always considered positive, regardless of the window period.
• A positive test result must be confirmed by a healthcare professional.

Knowing your HIV status using PrEP

Knowing your HIV status is of utmost importance, especially if you are using Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). While PrEP is highly effective in preventing HIV transmission when taken correctly, it is not 100%. Regularly testing for HIV ensures that you are aware of your current status and can make informed decisions about your sexual health.

By knowing your HIV status, you can confidently continue taking PrEP if you are HIV-negative, knowing that you are protected from acquiring the virus. It also allows you to monitor your health closely and detect any potential signs of HIV infection early on.

Additionally, testing for HIV while on PrEP is crucial for identifying any breakthrough infections. Although rare, there is still a small possibility of acquiring HIV while taking PrEP, typically due to factors such as inconsistent medication adherence or drug interactions. Prompt detection of a breakthrough infection allows for immediate medical intervention and adjustment of treatment plans, ensuring optimal health outcomes.

Moreover, being aware of your HIV status enables you to take control of your sexual health and engage in open conversations with your healthcare provider. Regular testing and discussions about your PrEP regimen help establish a comprehensive care plan, addressing any concerns or questions you may have. It also provides an opportunity to access additional support and resources tailored to your specific needs.

Remember, HIV testing should be a routine part of your healthcare routine, particularly if you are using PrEP. It empowers you to make informed decisions, safeguard your well-being, and maintain a proactive approach towards your sexual health.

Knowing your HIV status is crucial for your well-being. With the OraQuick HIV Self-Test Kit, you can conveniently and confidentially test for HIV in the comfort of your own home.
