The OraQuick® in-Home HIV Test

Very simple oral gums rub with the proper tool. Easy! I've never tested positive for HIV even after having lived in San Francisco for 30 years. I waited the minutes it said but the answer came sooner. I (I still waiter the time!) It was negative!! Very simple way to find out where you are in your love making!

It's was simple.

Really fast shipping and easy to use! Very clear instructions and it kind of shows a result within 5 minutes!

The most effective over the counter test. Piece of mind is priceless!

it is very easy to do

If you needing to take an HIV test and are too embarrassed or are unable to visit the doctor to take an HIV test then this is a great alternative. The package is shipped in a regular Amazon cardboard box so there is no need to worry about someone seeing what you have ordered. The Oraquick HIV Test contains one oral swap and one tube of solution so it's only good for a single use. This comes in a plastic container that has very simple and thorough instructions on how to use the product. The test also comes with a discreet plastic bag that this can be sealed in after use to provide privacy when the test is disposed of. This HIV test is very simple to take. Don't eat or drink anything for 30 minutes before taking the test. Open up the tube with the solution in it and the oral swab. Swab your gums on the top and bottom each once and then place the swab in the tube with the solution. The test is complete after 20 minutes and needs to be checked no later than 40 minutes or else the results won't be accurate. One red line indicates that you don't have HIV and two lines means that you might be HIV positive. The test states that if there is even a faint line that you should check with your doctor to double check the test results. Be advised that Oraquick recommends that you wait three months after an At Risk Event to take this test or else the results won't be as accurate. If you need to take the test before three months it's probably best to check with your doctor first. Overall I found this HIV test to be very simple to take and gave me the same results that I had with my doctor. The one complaint that I had with the test was that it seemed to have a lot of packaging for what is really a simple test. Oraquick could have easily removed the plastic packaging from the test to reduce waste since this is a one time use product.

Easy to understand, test, and read results, all while getting information. Let's face facts, sex is still a taboo subject for most, and STDs are as well. I test every year, even if I've been with the same women all year. It's not a matter of trust, it's a matter of personal health. I've used this specific product several times, so here's the pros and cons: PROS - Everything you need to test is included (but you need to have access to a clock or timer). - Instructions are very clear, and easy to understand. - Everything is well labeled and easy to open (which are shown in the instructions) - Diagrams and pictures show important steps. - Includes unmarked self-sealing bag for disposal. - Fast results - Support resources available 24/7 (If you need help, or are having difficulty coping with your test results, or just need help with the next steps) CONS - The slide out tray can sometimes slide all the way out RECOMMENDATIONS (DO's and DON'Ts): - DO allow an hour to test. - DO find a private place to test and read your results. - DO take out dental work or dentures at least 45 minutes before testing - DO be mindful of wait time before testing and results - DO NOT eat, drink, smoke, or rinse your mouth for at least 45 minutes before testing - DO NOT test if you don't feel you couldn't handle a positive result, or that you may harm yourself as a result. IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: It's important that you're mentally prepared to test. If you find yourself saying "I don't know what I'll do if it's positive" or "I don't think I could deal with a positive result" DO NOT TAKE THIS TEST! Visit your local clinic, see your doctor, or have someone you trust be with you when testing. HIV is no longer a death sentence, and the stigma has greatly decreased. It's always a good practice to read the informational booklet on HIV, and have a plan if you test positive. If you ignore all this, and found yourself unprepared for your positive test result, please call their support line, they can help you cope, and even help you with how to notify your sexual partners.

Terrible tests. Two invalids or false positive followed by 48 hours of panic until blood test shows negative LMAO
