MERIL HIV FIND HIV Self-Test from Saliva 1 pc
The HIVFIND self-test for the detection of HIV 1/2 antibodies from saliva is a qualitative screening in vitro diagnostic immunochromatographic test for the detection of antibodies specific to HIV (HIV-1 and HIV-2) in the oral cavity.
The test is intended for use by individuals in a private setting as a self-test to aid in the diagnosis of HIV infection using a self-collected saliva sample.
The HIVFIND self-test for the detection of HIV 1/2 antibodies from saliva consists of a chromatographic test strip that is pre-coated with HIV antigens inside a plastic cassette. The test is performed by taking a sample from the oral cavity and placing it in a tube with a tilted holder. As the test sample flows through the test strips, coloured lines are formed. If the sample contains HIV antibodies, two lines will appear in the control (C) and test (T) areas. If no antibodies are detected, only the control line (C) will be formed. If the test is performed correctly, the control line (C) will always appear.
