The HIV self test kit was very effective, and results incredibly quick. Although the 15 minute wait is nerve-racking, it’s considerably shorter than the several day wait from the home-kits which require laboratory analysis.

There is a LOT of information with the pack… but it’s all incredibly necessary. I would ensure that you read thoroughly before undertaking the test, and get to a place where you fully understand all that you need to do.

I didn't think I was HIV+ as I never seem to get ill not even a summer cold but I'm embarking on an IVF journey and in the back of my mind I was aware that a positive result at the eleventh hour would cause delays in the process. I heard about the self test kit on TV and decided I had no excuse to put off being tested. Kit arrived with 48 hours. Extremely professionally packaged with very clear instructions. It would sit very comfortably on a high end shelf at Boots. The result was very clear and easy to interpret and I am negative. HIV can be treated so successfully these days so I wasn't so worried about being positive but I can't wait to be a Dad so now I have peace of mind and I'm really pleased with my result.
