INSTI® HIV Self Test – rapid home HIV test
About HIV testing
HIV is the human immunodeficiency virus. Without treatment, it can progressively weaken the immune system and may lead to AIDS, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
HIV infection may have no symptoms, or early infection may cause flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, sore throat, rash, night sweats, or swollen lymph nodes.
Early identification can help people access appropriate medical care sooner. Modern HIV treatment can effectively control the infection in the long term.
INSTI® HIV Self Test is a home screening test for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in capillary blood. A reactive / positive result must always be confirmed by follow-up laboratory testing.
When to consider testing
  • If you want to check your current HIV status discreetly at home.
  • If you believe a possible exposure may have occurred and you want to perform a screening test.
  • If you are concerned about possible HIV exposure or want to include testing in your preventive health care.
  • If you have symptoms that concern you, do not rely on a home test alone; contact a doctor or specialised testing service.
Key benefits
  • Rapid result in approximately 5 minutes.
  • Testing from a drop of fingertip capillary blood.
  • Can be performed discreetly in the privacy of your home.
  • Detects IgM and IgG antibodies to HIV.
  • Complete single-use kit for one test.
How the test works
The test is designed to detect antibodies produced by the immune system in response to HIV infection.
  • Collect a drop of blood from the fingertip using the enclosed sterile lancet.
  • Follow the instructions supplied in the kit exactly.
  • Interpret the result according to the appearance of the test control and result dot / area.
  • The built-in procedural control helps verify that the test has run correctly.
Important: A negative result may not rule out a very recent infection because antibodies may not develop immediately after infection. Seek professional medical advice after a recent risk event, if symptoms are present, or if you have any doubts.

The kit is intended for one test and contains:
  • 1 test device / cassette in an individual pouch,
  • 1 sterile single-use blood collection lancet,
