White Whole Blood HIV At Home Test Kit Rapid Diagnostic Test Kits

HIV is the etiologic agent of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The virion is surrounded by a lipid envelope that is derived from host cell membrane. Several viral glycoproteins are on the envelope. Each virus contains two copies of positive-sense genomic RNAs. HIV 1 has been isolated from patients with AIDS and AIDS-related complex, and from healthy people with high potential risk for developing AIDS. HIV 2 has been isolated from West African AIDS patients and from seropositive asymptomatic individuals. Both HIV 1 and HIV 2 elicit immune response. Detection of HIV antibodies in serum, plasma is the most efficient and common way to determine whether an individual has been exposed to HIV and to screen blood and blood products for HIV. Despite the differences in their biological characteristics, serological activities and genome sequences, HIV 1 and HIV 2 show strong antigenic cross- reactivity. Most HIV 2 positive sera can be identified by using HIV 1 based serological tests.
The HIV 1.2 Rapid Test Cassette is a rapid test to qualitatively detect the presence of antibody to HIV 1 and/or HIV 2 in whole blood specimen. The test utilizes latex conjugate and multiple recombinant HIV proteins to selectively detect antibodies to the HIV 1.2 in whole blood.

【DIRECTIONS FOR USE】
Allow the test pack to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
1. Open the small part of the pouch, remove the test cassette and place it on a clean and level surface. Run the testing within one hour and best results will be obtained if the test is performed immediately after opening the foil pouch.
2. Open the large part of the pouch, remove the transfer pipette, buffer vial, sterile lancet and alcohol swab, place them close to the test cassette. Twist off the tab of the buffer vial without squeezing and keep it ready for testing.
3. Use the provided alcohol swab to clean the fingertip of the middle finger as the puncture site.
4. Carefully pull off the sterile lancet cap. Push the sterile lancet firmly into the fingertip of the middle finger. Do not use the first drop of blood. To increase blood flow, use the thumb and forefinger to gently apply pressure around the puncture site.
5. Hold the disposable transfer pipette vertically and aspirate the blood drop from puncture site. Dispense 2 drops of blood (approx. 50μL) from the transfer pipette into the specimen well (S) on the test cassette, and then add 2 drops of buffer (approx. 80μL). Avoid touching the transfer pipette directly to the fingertip. Start the timer.
6. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 10 minutes. Do not interpret results after 20 minutes.
