What does a positive HIV test mean?

A positive HIV result means that you have been infected with HIV based on the results of a blood test. To ensure that the diagnosis is correct, the initial blood test will be confirmed with a second test that checks for the virus in a different way. If both tests are positive, the diagnosis of HIV infection can be considered definitive.

How is HIV diagnosed?

HIV can be diagnosed through blood or saliva testing. Available tests include: Antigen/antibody tests. These tests usually involve drawing blood from a vein. Antigens are substances on the HIV virus itself and are usually detectable — a positive test — in the blood within a few weeks after exposure to HIV.

What is the difference between home-based HIV test & finger-prick test?

By contrast, home-based tests still have their limitations. The saliva-based Oraquick In-Home HIV Test has a one in 12 chance of a false-negative result. Similarly, finger-prick blood tests can take up to 90 days before enough antibodies are produced for a reliable result.

What are in-home HIV tests?

In-home HIV tests are antibody tests that require either a finger-prick blood sample or a swab of saliva from your mouth. The finger-prick option is a mail-in test that is processed in a lab, while the saliva-based option can return results at home within 20 to 40 minutes.
