There are several ways to get tested for HIV. You can visit a healthcare provider, sexual health clinic or community testing service, or use an HIV self-test intended for home use.
With an at-home HIV self-test, you collect the sample yourself and follow the instructions supplied with the test. Depending on the test, this may involve a finger-prick blood sample or an oral sample. You can view our available HIV tests here.
The right testing option depends on your circumstances and how recently a possible exposure occurred, because different HIV tests have different window periods. Read more on our When to test for HIV? page.
For additional information about HIV testing and window periods, you can also consult the CDC HIV testing guidance.
A reactive HIV self-test result does not by itself confirm an HIV diagnosis. Appropriate follow-up testing by a healthcare professional or testing service is required.
