The test is done orally so the procedure involves swabbing the mouth to get a result with the test. One-line with the control line means the result is negative and two lines means that the result is positive. People who get no result should get another test and test again. If a person gets a positive result then they should contact a doctor for an immediate re-test.
It is important to note that the test is most accurate if a person has not engaged in risky behavior such as having unprotected intercourse for more than three months. It can take 3 months for an HIV test to be positive after an at risk occurrence.
Many people are afraid to check their HIV status because they feel that there is a stigma with having the diagnosis. One thing many people neglect to do is to ask their partners if they have been tested. Unfortunately, many people prefer to be polite rather than protect themselves. Hurt feelings are a lot easier to deal with than getting exposed to HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases for not asking someone if they have been tested.

Rapid HIV Test Could Revolutionize Clinical Laboratory Testing Performed in Developing Nations
Published: August 17 2011 VN:F [1.9.7_1111]
Handheld device promises reliable, fast, cheap point-of-care Medical laboratory testing in world’s remote areas
New clinical laboratory testing technology is about to revolutionize how HIV and syphilis testing is conducted in developing nations and remote areas. For the first time, researchers have successfully field-tested a rapid, sensitive, and low-cost test for HIV and syphilis that could replace the more expensive and less efficient tests currently available for use.
The new multiplex assay is called “mChip” and consists of a clear plastic device approximately the size of a credit card. It uses blood samples of 1 microlitre and produces results within 20 minutes. During the field study, this pathology testing device was 100% accurate in detecting HIV-positive cases and there was only one false positive out of 70 total samples, according to the report published online by Nature Medicine. This pathology testing device showed equally impressive results when used as a dual test of HIV and syphilis, with similar accuracy for HIV and 94% detection of syphilis cases. False positives for syphilis ran at four out of 67 total samples.Some experts see this as a huge step. According to an article in the Washington Post, Doris Rouse, a Vice President at RTI International in North Carolina, specializing in global health technologies, observed: “What’s especially exciting about this device is that it’s rugged, easy to use and doesn’t require a lot of infrastructure or training.”
