The HIV Test is a rapid immunochromatographic blood test that detects antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus HIV type 1 (HIV-1) and type 2 (HIV-2), which appear after infection with either virus type.
Ultra-sensitive 3rd generation HIV test recommended by WHO. Accuracy: 99.6%
3-in-1 diagnostic test: the lancet and pipette for blood collection are integrated into the test device, ensuring ease of use and minimizing errors during testing.
Blood-based HIV tests offer higher accuracy than oral swab tests. Blood contains a higher concentration of the virus, increasing the chance of detecting HIV infection, especially in its early stages.
The test is performed as part of prevention for individuals who have had or currently engage in risky sexual behaviors. If you believe you may have recently been exposed to HIV, get tested.

There are 2 types of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV): HIV-1 and HIV-2. If you are infected with HIV-1 or HIV-2, your immune system will produce antibodies against one, the other, or both types of the virus.
The self-test for HIV is designed to detect antibodies in human blood that appear as a result of infection with either type of the virus. It is a single-use screening test that provides a result after 15 minutes. If a positive result is obtained, it must be confirmed by a doctor based on further tests.
From the moment of HIV exposure (when the virus enters the body), it can take 6 to 12 weeks for your body to produce antibodies detectable by this test. This period is called the “window period”. If you perform the HIV self-test during this period, it may lead to an incorrect false negative result. If you believe you have recently been exposed to HIV, it is recommended to retest after the “window period” has passed (after 12 weeks).
It is important to know if more than 3 months have passed since the last risky event. If so, and the test was performed correctly, you are most likely not infected with HIV. If less than 3 months have passed since the last risky event, you will need to retest in 3 months. If you are unsure, seek advice – refer to the Support Card.
Important: Repeat the test after 3 months.
Being HIV positive is a manageable condition, and people living with HIV can lead long, active, and healthy lives. The HIV self-test is a screening test, and a positive test result does not necessarily mean you have HIV. If your test result is positive, you must see a doctor for a confirmation test. Early diagnosis of HIV means that treatment can begin sooner. More information on accessing further tests can be found in the enclosed Support Card or on newfoundland.io.
Only your doctor or an authorized healthcare professional can decide on appropriate treatment. If you are diagnosed as HIV positive, you will be referred to a counseling clinic and, depending on your condition, may receive antiretroviral (ARV) treatment.
The test will not show a result if it has not been performed correctly. You will need to repeat the test using a new test device. If you are unsure whether you performed the test correctly, speak to your doctor or an authorized healthcare professional.
I am concerned that I have been exposed to HIV in the last few days. What should I do?
You should see a doctor, HIV clinic, or emergency room as soon as possible, no later than 72 hours, to access “PEP” (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) therapy to prevent HIV infection.
