Rapid HIV Test

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a sexually-transmitted viral infection that affects the immune system. If left untreated, HIV can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). Symptoms of HIV can vary, and it is possible to have HIV and not realize it.This is why getting tested is so important.

The Rapid HIV Test is a quick way to screen for HIV with high sensitivity and specificity. Typically, it takes days to receive HIV test results. If you are concerned about HIV, Any Lab Test Now offers this faster testing option with screening results available in less than 30 minutes.

This test works by detecting antibodies to both HIV-1 and HIV-2, and only requires a small drop of blood to perform.

Please note that this is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. This test will give a result of either “reactive” or “non-reactive” for HIV. All “reactive” test results will be confirmed through additional testing. This means that for “reactive” results only, a blood sample (which requires a venous blood draw) will be sent out to an outside reference lab for diagnostic testing.

FAQs

Am I required to fast?

No, you are not required to fast prior to the test.

What kind of sample is required?

A blood sample is required for the test. This blood will be collected via fingerstick blood collection. If your screening result is “reactive” for HIV, then an additional venous blood draw will be required.

How long will it take to get my results?

The results of your screening test will be available within 30 minutes. Please note that for all “reactive” screens, a blood sample will be sent to an outside lab for confirmation testing. The results of this confirmation testing are typically available within 3-5 business days after the lab receives your sample.

If I have a “reactive” test result, will it be reported to the health department?

The requirements for reporting positive STD results to the local/state health departments vary from state to state. If you have a “reactive” rapid HIV result, a blood sample will then be sent to an outside lab for diagnostic testing. Any potentially positive results will not be reported to the health department until after diagnostic confirmation.

Is a doctor’s order required?

Either we provide the doctor’s order for the lab test at no additional cost, or we accept your physician’s order.

If I have questions about my results, who should I contact?

We recommend you share your results with your healthcare provider.
