How to do HIV self-test

Many people are very afraid of AIDS, especially those who have engaged in high-risk sexual behaviors or have chaotic private lives. These people are at high risk of AIDS. When you suspect that you have AIDS, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time. Of course, if you do not want to go to the hospital for some reason, you should use AIDS test strips for testing in time. The accuracy of the test strips is also relatively high.

1. First of all, you need to see if you have the following high-risk behaviors, such as a complicated sexual life, being a homosexual, taking drugs, or sharing syringes with others, having a history of infection with needles or blood products infected with HIV, or having a mother who is an AIDS patient.

2. For those who engage in high-risk behaviors, if two or more of the following conditions occur, you should be highly alert: recent sudden weight loss of more than 10%, chronic diarrhea or cough for more than one month, continuous or intermittent fever for more than one month, swollen lymph nodes that can be felt all over the body, recurrent herpes zoster or chronic disseminated herpes simplex infection, or Candida infection in the oropharynx.

3. Blood was drawn for routine examination, and different degrees of anemia were found. At the same time, the decrease in white blood cell count indicated viral infection. Urinalysis can reveal protein in the urine.

4. Go to the hospital for HIV-1 antibody testing. If the ELISA test results are positive twice in a row, the WB method should be used for confirmation.

5. If the human immunodeficiency virus can be isolated from the blood, mononuclear cells and cerebrospinal fluid, it can be used to determine whether a person is infected with AIDS.

How to use HIV test strips

1. Wash your hands with medical alcohol or household hand sanitizer.

2. Use the provided medical disposable non-toxic blood collection needle to prick your fingertip.

3. Use the provided pipette to draw 2-3 drops of fingertip blood from the place where the finger has just been pierced, and add it to the sample addition hole s of the test paper.

4. If the blood cannot pass through the test window smoothly, you can add the original diluent (i.e. buffer) we provide to you after adding blood to dilute the blood so that the test can be completed smoothly (no more than two drops).

5. Read the result 15 minutes after adding the sample. One line is negative and two lines are positive. The result after 20 minutes is invalid.
