Daily News | COVID-19 showed the benefits of at-home testing. A new partnership is expanding access to HIV testing kits.
The test itself is very similar to a COVID-19 test. People need only to swab inside their mouths, then stick the swab into a tube with the test fluid. A result can be seen within 20 to 40 minutes.
The test detects antibodies for the virus. A positive result needs to be followed up with a confirmatory lab test.phillykeeponloving.comBy leveraging their existing community relationships, the Philadelphia groups hope their new partnership will reach more vulnerable people, who otherwise might remain unaware of their HIV status.After a home test returns a positive result, it’s critical to make sure the person gets a lab test to confirm their status, then get treatment started, Thirumurthy said.
