Section 01
HIV self-testing allows you to test yourself for HIV privately and conveniently using a self-test kit.
The test is simple to perform and can be done in the privacy of your home or another location of your choice by carefully following the Instructions for Use.
Knowing your HIV status is an important step in taking care of your health.
Knowing your HIV status helps you make informed decisions about your health.
If your test is non-reactive, you can continue taking steps to protect yourself.
If your self-test is reactive, you should visit a healthcare facility for confirmatory testing according to national guidelines.
Early diagnosis allows people living with HIV to access treatment and care sooner.
When used correctly and according to the Instructions for Use, HIV self-tests provide reliable results.

HIV self-testing is intended for people who want to know their HIV status conveniently and confidentially.
