About OraQuick® HIV Self-Test (HIVST)

The OraQuick® HIV Self-Test (HIVST) is a point-of-care rapid antibody test. It detects antibodies for both HIV-1 and HIV-2, enabling individuals to find out their HIV status with a simple oral swab in as little as 20 minutes. The simplicity of the product makes it ideal for testing in a range of locations, including in the privacy of one’s home, at the pharmacy, or at community-based testing events. This test is available for use in select geographic locations outside of the US.

Based on the same OraQuick® platform that is used for the FDA-approved OraQuick In-Home HIV Test and the WHO Prequalified OraQuick Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test used by health care professionals worldwide, the platform has been used to test millions.
