The First Response HIV Test Kit puts knowing your HIV status in your own hands. A rapid test that detects HIV antibodies from a small blood sample, giving a clear result in minutes. Knowing your status is a powerful, positive step: today's HIV treatment lets people live long, healthy lives, and testing is how that journey starts.
Directions for Use
Follow the kit leaflet exactly: collect the blood sample as directed (usually a fingertip prick), apply it with the buffer, and read the result within the stated time window. Check the expiry date first; the kit is single-use. Note the window period. Very recent exposure may not yet show, so retest after the interval the leaflet advises.
A reactive (positive) result is preliminary and must always be confirmed with laboratory testing at a healthcare facility. Confirmation, counselling and effective treatment are available, and people on treatment live full, healthy lives and cannot pass HIV on once virally suppressed. A negative result after recent exposure should be repeated after the window period. If you may have been exposed within the last 72 hours, seek PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) urgently rather than waiting to test. Dispose of lancets safely.
