How to Use OraQuick
For complete testing instructions and result interpretation, please refer to the instructions included with the kit. You must be 17 or older to use this test.
The OraQuick In-Home HIV Test is an in-vitro diagnostic home-use test for HIV (HIV-1 and HIV-2) in oral fluid. This test works by looking for your body’s response (antibodies) to fighting the HIV virus.
A positive result is preliminary and follow-up confirmatory testing is needed. If you have been exposed to events that could result in HIV infection, you should test 3 months after the event. If you feel you are at risk of being infected with HIV, it is a good idea to test regularly. Please follow the testing directions carefully to be sure the results are correct. You must be 17 or older to use this test.
A positive result with this test does not mean that you are definitely infected with HIV, but rather that additional testing should be done in a medical setting. A negative result with this test does not mean that you are definitely not infected with HIV, particularly when exposure may have been within the previous 3 months. If your test is negative and you engage in activities that put you at risk for HIV on a regular basis, you should test regularly.
This product should not be used to make decisions on behavior that may put you at increased risk for HIV.

How often should I test for HIV?
How often you should get tested for HIV depends on your circumstances. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone be tested for HIV at least once.
*Safe and approved by the FDA for use by adults (17 years of age or older), OraQuick is the first and only HIV test that delivers your results with all the comforts and privacy of home.
Some people at increased risk for HIV infection benefit from more frequent testing. If you are HIV positive, or are on treatment or preventive treatment for HIV, this test is not meant for you.
What happens next?
Knowing your status is important, regardless of your test result, there are next steps that you can take with a local healthcare provider.
What happens after a positive test result?
If you get a positive test result, it is important to follow up immediately with your healthcare provider for confirmatory HIV testing. People who are living with HIV can get connected to care and take medications that keep them healthy and prevent HIV from being passed to their partners (U=U).

What happens after a negative test result?
If your test result is negative, you also have options. Your healthcare provider can talk to you about PrEP, a medication that can help keep you HIV negative.
