Difference
between AIDS and HIV :
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. Nearly everyone who
becomes infected with HIV develops AIDS over a period of
years. AIDS is a serious condition in which the immune system
is severely weakened, turning normally mild or rare diseases
into potentially fatal conditions.
The importance of testing for HIV :
Anyone can become infected with HIV. Most HIV-infected
people look and feel healthy and have no signs of being sick.
It is possible for them to infect others without even knowing
it. It is a matter of what you do, not who you are. If you
engage in risky behaviors, you have a chance of being
infected.

How does Home Access HIV test work?
Our program first screens your blood specimen using a system called the
Enzyme-Linked Immunoassay (ELISA). If this screen is positive (repeatedly reactive),
a more specific confirmatory test, Immunofluoresence Assay (IFA) will be used. These
are the same tests used by doctors in hospitals.
Test Accuracy:
In clinical trials conducted at nine U.S. medical centers, test results from participants using the Home Access HIV-1 test system were compared to professionally collected venous blood specimens from the same participants. There proved to be a complete correlation between the two tests, yielding an overall test accuracy of greater than 99.9% for the Home Access HIV-1 test program. This means that the Home Access HIV-1 test program is as accurate as tests used by doctors in hospitals.
