Information

What is HIV and AIDS?

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body’s defense against illness. If left untreated, HIV can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HIV and AIDS can’t be cured, but the medications available today help people live normal life spans.
How does the test work?

The test uses simple flow-through technology to detect HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies using a drop of human fingerstick blood. The test does not detect the virus itself. The test dot will only be visible if HIV antibodies are present. The INSTI^® HIV Self Test is simple to perform and very accurate, but it will only work correctly if you carefully read and follow the instructions. You may test positive with INSTI^® HIV Self Test in as little as 21-22 days after infection¹, however, it can take as long as 3 months to produce a positive result. A negative result may not be accurate until 3 months after infection.
How accurate is the test?

Diagnostic sensitivity is the measure of efficiency for HIV antobodies detection. Diagnostic specificity is a measure of efficiency to detect healthy, non-HIV infected patients. In studies, the sensitivity of the INSTI was 100% and the specificity 99.5% respectively 99.8%. The results are extremely accurate and are over 99% reliable.
