Before You Test

Three important things to know

Recent exposure & window period
A self-test may not detect HIV immediately after a very recent possible exposure. Seek medical advice if you are unsure about when to test.
If your result is reactive
A reactive self-test is not a confirmed HIV diagnosis. Follow-up confirmatory testing with a healthcare provider is required.
If your result is invalid
An invalid result means the test did not work as expected. Follow the kit instructions on repeating the test or obtaining another kit.
