HIV Overview
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system and, if left untreated, can lead to AIDS. HIV Types 1 and 2 are the two main strains, with Type 1 being the most common globally. Many people with HIV may not show symptoms for years, making early detection vital to preventing transmission and managing health outcomes. Our private use HIV Rapid Test Kit helps you take control of your health by providing fast, confidential, and accurate results in the privacy of your own home—empowering you to act early and responsibly.
Understanding HIV and Why Testing Matters
1. What is HIV?
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells), which help fight off infections. Without treatment, HIV can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), a potentially life-threatening condition. Early detection through regular testing is essential for managing the virus and preventing transmission.
2. How is HIV Transmitted?
HIV is primarily spread through:
-
Contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or rectal fluids
-
Unprotected sexual contact with an HIV-positive person
-
Sharing needles, syringes, or drug-injection equipment
-
From an HIV-positive mother to her baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding
-
Use of unsterilized medical or tattooing equipment
3. What are the Common Symptoms of HIV Infection?
Many people with HIV experience no symptoms for years. When symptoms do occur, they may include:
-
Fever
-
Fatigue
-
Swollen lymph nodes
-
Sore throat
-
Rash
-
Night sweats
-
Weight loss
4. What are Possible Long-Term Complications?
If untreated, HIV can weaken the immune system, leading to:
-
Opportunistic infections (infections that occur more frequently or are more severe in people with weakened immune systems)
-
Certain cancers
-
AIDS
-
Increased susceptibility to other infections, including hepatitis viruses
5. How is a HIV Infection Detected?
HIV testing detects the presence of HIV antibodies and/or antigens in the blood. Our HIV Rapid Test Kit delivers fast and accurate results, empowering individuals to take informed action. This HIV Home Test Kit offers:

6. How is an HIV Infection Treated?
-
While there is currently no cure for HIV, it can be effectively managed. Treatment includes:
-
Antiretroviral therapy (ART): A combination of medications that suppress the virus and help restore immune function.
-
Regular monitoring: Routine blood tests track viral load and immune response.
7. Prevention Vaccination:
-
Safe practices: Use protection during sex and avoid sharing needles.
-
Regular testing: Early detection helps prevent transmission and ensures better health outcomes.
-
PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis): For those at high risk, this daily medication helps prevent HIV infection.

About our Test Kits
QUALITY AND ACCURACY
The ISO 13485 Medical Device Standard
The screening kits we supply have been chosen for their quality and reliability in STD/STI screening. We supply kits that have a high rate of agreement compared to laboratory testing using ELISA or PCR methods. ELISA or PCR testing methods are carried out in a testing laboratory and are seen as reliable and accurate methods by which to compare another testing products performance. A very high agreement rate for a rapid STD/STI screening kit indicates a similar result to a gold standard laboratory test. A low agreement rate indicates a poor performance compared to a laboratory test and should not be considered a suitable product. Agreement rates vary slightly across the various STDs due to various factors but in general products have an agreement rate of between 95%-100%. The ISO and GMP manufacturing standards also ensure consistency of production quality. Some test such as Chlamydia test for the detection of an antigen, in this case a bacteria. Other test kits such as Hep B test for antibodies produced by the human immune system in response to infection. Each STD screening method relies on its own detection window period in order to function. It is important to understand the detection window period of each test you are taking to ensure that it complies with the test kit requirements. Disclaimer: Rapid test kits are designed as a primary screening solution and all results should be consulted with your health professional. It is important to read and follow the instructions carefully.
ISO 13485 is an internationally recognized quality standard which states the requirements of the Quality Management System (QMS) for the design and manufacture of Medical Devices. Certification to ISO 13485 requires its quality system to pass a third-party Medical Device Single Audit Program, or “MDSAP” audit. ISO 13485 is recognized by WHO.
