What are HIV 1 and HIV 2?
They are the two species of HIV infect humans: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is more virulent. It is easily transmitted and is the cause of the majority of HIV infections globally. HIV-2 is less transmittable and is largely confined to West Africa. iCare HIV rapid screen test kit is able to detect HIV 1 and HIV 2 in 5 minutes. READ MORE
How HIV is Transmitted
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is mainly spread through contact with specific body fluids from an infected person. These fluids include: blood, semen (including pre-seminal fluid), rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. READ MORE
What is Symptoms of HIV
The symptoms of HIV can vary greatly. Some people may experience flu-like symptoms 2-4 weeks after infection, such as fever, chills, rash, night sweats, muscle aches, sore throat, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and mouth ulcers. READ MORE
Why and who should test for HIV?
HIV is a virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Anyone can be at risk. Most infected people do not know their HIV status as they look and feel well. Most common routes of infection are: • Unprotected sexual contacts with infected person(s) • Repeated use of needles in connection with drugs • Use of unsafe blood products or transfusion with infected blood • Transfer of infection from a positive mother to her child • Intravenous drug users • Health care workers who take blood sample
When should I test?
If you have a reason to suspect a possible infection of yourself or your sexual partner(s), it is wise to take a test. We advise you to wait 3 months before you do a test because although most people will manifest antibody levels within 30 days, a significant percentage do not show these anti-bodies until about 90 days. The National CDC has said that in some rare cases, it may even take up to six months for one to be tested positive. At this point, the results will be 99.9% accurate. We recommend you do 2 tests 30 days apart.
Why need to get tested early?
Earlier diagnosis and entry to care are associated with better prognosis and survival.(Among HIV-infected persons with CD4+ cell counts of 201--350 cells/µL, initiating antiretroviral therapy was associated with reduced mortality, compared with delaying such therapy until <200 cells/µL ) Late testing results in missed opportunities for preventing HIV infections. During the time between HIV infection and diagnosis, infected persons can transmit HIV to others when they engage in practices that put their partners at risk. HIV transmission could be reduced by increasing awareness of HIV status through early testing. Knowledge of HIV serostatus promotes adoption of safer sexual practices.
What if I am tested positive?
If you are tested positive, please consult your doctor immediately.
