EZ-H RAPID SCREEN SELF TEST KIT FOR HIV 1 AND HIV 2

   

Why and who should test for HIV?

HIV is a virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Anyone can be at risk. Most infected people do not know their HIV status as they look and feel well. Most common routes of infection are:

  • Unprotected sexual contacts with infected person(s).
  • Repeated use of needles in connection with drugs.
  • Use of unsafe blood products or transfusion with infected blood.
  • Transfer of infection from a positive mother to her child.
  • Intravenous drug users.
  • Health care workers who take blood samples.


When should I test?

If you have a reason to suspect a possible infection of yourself or your sexual partner(s), it is wise to take a test. We advise you to wait 3 months before you do a test because although most people will manifest antibody levels within 30 days, a significant percentage do not show these anti-bodies until about 90 days. The National CDC has said that in some rare cases, it may even take up to six months for one to be tested positive. At this point, the results will be 99.9% accurate. We recommend you do 2 tests 30 days apart.

What if I am tested positive?

If you are tested positive, please consult your doctor immediately.

Disclaimer

When performing the EZ-H HIV test, the steps involved must be followed closely. If there has been a possible exposure to infected blood, and the person tests negative for HIV, the test must be repeated in 90 days. It is imperative that a positive HIV test result be followed by Elisa, a Western Blot or PCR test performed by a doctor or clinic to confirm if you are indeed HIV positive. Since NO test, nor test kit is infallible, it is best to confirm test results by using a licensed medical testing facility. For one time usage only.
