How Does the OraQuick Test Work?

Each home test works a little differently. With the OraQuick In-Home HIV Test, you swab the inside of your mouth. Then you place the swab in a tube with a developing solution.

Results are available in 20 to 40 minutes. If one line appears, the test is negative. Two lines mean you may be positive. You’ll need a follow-up test from a lab to be sure.

If the Test Is Negative

If you get a negative test result and it has been more than three months since you may have been exposed, you can be pretty sure that you don’t have HIV.

If it has been less than three months since exposure, you should take another HIV test at the end of the three-month period, just to be sure. During that time, practice safe sex by using a condom and don’t share needles.

If the Test Is Positive.

If you get a positive result, the lab should retest your sample to make sure it wasn’t inaccurate. A positive result on the follow-up test means that you have HIV.

See your doctor as soon as possible to discuss your treatment and therapy options. Your doctor can get you started on antiretroviral therapy—drugs that help stop the HIV infection from progressing.

Make sure you practice safe sex, using condoms and/or dental dams with any and all sexual partners.
