Erovita Hiv Test Kit

EROVITA HIV TEST KIT

A HIV self testing kit. HIV self-testing involves collecting your own specimen (oral fluid or blood) and using a rapid HIV test kit. You perform the whole test yourself, including reading and interpreting the test result.

Self-testing is sometimes called ‘home testing’, because people often do it at home. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that HIV self-testing should be offered alongside existing HIV testing services.

• Most devices for self-testing (home testing) are modified versions of professional tests, with comparable sensitivity and specificity.
• Self-tests are usually reliable for long-standing infections, but are sometimes unable to detect recent HIV infections acquired in the past few weeks.
• Like any screening test, a reactive (‘positive’) result must be confirmed with one or two follow-up tests.
• Studies show that most people can accurately and reliably use self-testing devices.
