When looking in to using a HIV home check kit, it is important to to start with check that the kit is FDA approved which will give you some reassurance that it is effective and will agree with what doctors' findings may be. The FDA approval code is an 11 digit code that can be found normally on the kit. The way in which HIV check kits work is by allowing you to send off your own blood sample (by pricking your finger and allowing blood to land on the blotter) and then wait 24 hours before ringing the lab with that 11 digit code (the other advantage of this code is that it lets you get your results without having to give away any personal information such as your name).
HIV (AKA the Human Immunodeficiency Virus), like all STIs (Sexually Transmitted Infections) is a moderately embarrassing condition and that lots of of us are afraid to face up to. Lots of us will therefore avoid seeing the doctor when they suspect that they may have HIV or something similar รข�� while still knowing that it is vital to get diagnosed as soon as feasible. Thus HIV 'home test' kits have become very popular, allowing individuals to check themselves for HIV from the privacy of their home.
