HIV Test Kits — HIV 1 & 2 Antibody Rapid Tests

Quick answer: An HIV 1/2 rapid test detects antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in a blood sample, with a result in about 15–20 minutes. A non-reactive result may miss very recent infection during the window period, and every reactive result must be confirmed by a laboratory following national testing guidelines.

What an HIV 1/2 antibody test tells you

The test looks for antibodies the body makes against HIV-1 and HIV-2. Antibodies take time to appear after exposure, so a test done too early can be non-reactive even if infection has occurred. Testing again after the window period, as advised by a doctor or counsellor, gives a reliable answer.

In India, a reactive rapid test is followed by confirmatory testing at a government ICTC or an accredited laboratory.

How the test is done

  1. Bring the kit and sample to room temperature.
  2. Add the sample and buffer to the sample well as the leaflet describes.
  3. Read the result in the time stated on the leaflet (about 15–20 minutes).
  4. Dispose of the device and sample as biomedical waste.

Dr. Manya kits are professional in-vitro diagnostic tests for hospitals, laboratories, clinics, blood banks and health camps. A rapid test result should be confirmed with laboratory methods and discussed with a doctor.

What is the window period for an HIV antibody test?

It is the time between infection and the point when antibodies can be detected. A test done during this period can be non-reactive, so a repeat test after the period advised by a doctor or counsellor is recommended.
