How do I carry out an HIV Home Test? 

Many individuals are ensure of what HIV testing method to choose  after a potential risk of infection.  
There are for those individuals but decided to self‐test there are several testing options available to 
them.  By far the most common and accurate testing method is to use an HIV home test Kit that tests for 
HIV antibodies into the bloodstream.  These test kits are readily available in the Australian market 
through online suppliers such as Head Start Testing.  We will shortly cover the usage of these tests kits 
to ensure that you are familiar with what they are designed to do and how they are to be used.  But first 
let us discuss some important factors to be considered when selecting the correct HIV test kit to 
purchase.  When testing for something as significant as HIV it is essential that you use a test kit of the 
highest quality.  The HIV home test kits sold online in Australia by www.HeadStartTesting.com A 
manufactured in the quality controlled environment that carries both the ISO and GMP certifications.  
This assures the consumer that each HIV home test kit is manufactured under the same quality 
conditions guaranteeing accuracy and consistency in the production process.  HIV test kits that are not 
manufactured under the certifications will have varied and accuracy and can potentially lead to false 
readings.  So when purchasing your HIV tests kit ensure that the product is ISO and GMP certified. 

They another factor to consider when purchasing for online is privacy.  Many individuals choose to self‐
test for HIV for reasons of convenience and privacy so it is important that this is respected during the 
payment and shipping process of the test kit in Australia.  Head Start Testing Australia collect online 
payments through PayPal using a generic payment processing name and package products discreetly for 
shipping to ensure the individual’s privacy is respected. 

And let us now look at how the test kits are actually used.  Testing for HIV using it’s HIV self test kit is a 
feeling it’s simple process and results are delivered within just a few minutes.  The test kit contains a 
test cartridge which will give the HIV negative for HIV positive results, an automated lancet for collecting 
the blood sample (1 to 2 drops only) and a diluent liquid to facilitate the testing process.  The individual 
collects one or two drops of blood using the lancet and places it in the test cartridge, the diluent is then 
added and within 1 to 2 minutes the result of the HIV test kit is visible.  Additionally a third result exists 
in a quality test kits has sold by Head Start Testing that will indicate to the user that the test has failed.  
This is an essential safety net to prevent false negative or positive entering the testing process.
