The HIV 1 & 2 Rapid test is the fastest, most convenient way to get a preliminary answer about your HIV status. This simple test, often done with a finger-prick, provides a confidential screening result in as little as 20 minutes. It works by detecting the 'antibodies' your body produces in response to the virus. This test is a critical, accessible, and fast first step to gaining peace of mind. Get a clear, confidential, on-the-spot answer. (Note: A 'reactive' preliminary result from a rapid test is always re-checked with our advanced 4th Generation lab test for definitive confirmation.)
