How HIV oral test works

Most people think that blood is required to perform an HIV test. But with OraQuick, an oral smear test stick is used and blood is not needed. By taking oral fluid from the gums, you collect a fluid similar to that used in blood tests.

The OraQuick test detects HIV antibodies, not the virus itself.

1.  The antibodies of HIV present in the oral fluid are taken by means of the collecting palette.

2.  Once the device is inserted into the test tube, the oral fluid mixes with the liquid in the tube and rises through the test wand.

3.   If line C darkens, it means that the test works correctly. If line C does not appear, the test does not work.
     If only line C appears, the results of the test are negative.

4.   Antibodies to HIV that are deposited on the T line indicate that the test results are positive.


All you have to do is pass the test wand once through your upper gums and once through your lower gums. Then insert the test wand into the tube that is supplied with the game and you will get the results in just 20 minutes.

OraQuick is safe, has been approved by the FDA for use in adults (over 17) and is the first and only test for HIV that gives you results in the comfort and privacy of your home.
