Read the result between 15 and 20 minutes after performing the test. Do not interpret the result before 15 minutes or after 20 minutes. Always follow the Instructions for Use supplied with your test.
Two coloured lines are visible in the testing cartridge: one in the control (C) area and one in the test (T) area. The test line may vary in intensity. Any visible test line together with a control line should be treated as a reactive result.
A reactive HIV self-test does not by itself confirm an HIV diagnosis. Follow-up testing by a healthcare professional or appropriate testing service is required to confirm the result.
One coloured line is visible in the control (C) area and no coloured line is visible in the test (T) area.
A non-reactive result does not rule out HIV infection if the test was performed during the window period following a recent possible exposure. Depending on when the possible exposure occurred, repeat testing may be necessary.
The result is invalid if no control (C) line appears, regardless of whether a line is visible in the test (T) area. Do not interpret an invalid test result.
Repeat the test using a new test kit and follow the Instructions for Use carefully. If you obtain another invalid result, contact an appropriate healthcare or testing service for advice.
