Dosage of Dr. Greg's HIV-AIDS Home Test Kit

This is a diagnostic test kit for one-time use by one person.

• Dosage: Requires a minimal amount of sample (e.g., one drop of blood via finger prick or a swab of oral fluid) and the precise number of drops of the provided buffer.

Proper Administration

• Preparation: Allow the test kit components to equilibrate to room temperature (15 degree C – 30 degree C). Do not eat, drink, or use mouth cleaning products for at least 15 minutes prior to the test (for oral fluid tests).
• Testing: Follow the step-by-step instructions in the leaflet for collecting the sample (blood or oral fluid) and mixing it with the buffer in the cassette or vial.
• Reading: Start the timer immediately after adding the buffer. Read the result exactly at 10-15 minutes. Do not read after the maximum time (usually 20 minutes).

Contraindications of Dr. Greg's HIV-AIDS Home Test Kit

• Window Period: Do NOT rely on a negative result if the test is performed too soon after the last potential exposure. Most people develop detectable antibodies within 3 months of exposure. Test again after the full 3-month window period has passed to confirm a negative result.
• HIV Treatment (ART/PrEP/PEP): This test is not a reliable way to confirm HIV status if you are currently taking HIV treatment (ART) or prevention medication (PrEP or PEP), as these may delay or reduce the body's antibody response.
• Age: Intended for adult use.

Side Effects of Dr. Greg's HIV-AIDS Home Test Kit

• Common Side Effects (Mild and Expected): Minor, temporary pain or bruising at the fingertip puncture site (for blood-based kits).
• Serious but Rare Side Effects (That May Require Medical Attention): False results (either false negative or false positive) can have severe consequences for treatment and prevention. Do not begin treatment based on a home test result alone.

Precautions and Warnings of Dr. Greg's HIV-AIDS Home Test Kit

• Confirmatory Testing (Crucial):: A Positive result is PRELIMINARY. You must seek immediate professional counseling and confirmatory testing at a clinic or hospital. Early treatment greatly improves health outcomes.
• Negative Result Caution: A Negative result does not mean you are definitely uninfected, especially if tested during the window period (up to 3 months). Continue to practice safe sex and retest after 3 months of the last potential exposure.
• Procedural Integrity: Follow the enclosed instructions exactly. Incorrect or insufficient sample collection, or reading the result outside the specified time frame (usually 10-15 minutes), will lead to an Invalid Result.
• Biohazard: Dispose of the lancet and the used test cassette as biohazardous waste according to local regulations to prevent contamination.

• Pack Size: 1 (Single Use Kit)
• Form: Rapid Diagnostic Test Cassette (Blood or Oral Fluid)
