The OraQuick HIV Self-Screening Kit is an FDA-approved, over-the-counter oral swab screening kit that detects HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies in 20 minutes with over 99% accuracy for negative results, though sensitivity for detecting positive results is approximately 92%. It is a simple, non-invasive screening method used by swabbing gums, providing results in private.

Key Features of OraQuick:

How to Use & Interpret:
Swab: Run the screening stick along your upper and lower gums.
Check: Place the stick into the provided vial of developer solution.
Wait: Wait 20 minutes (not to exceed 40).
