Be sure. Be safe. Be tested.

 

HIV Testing

  • Once HIV enters the body, the body starts to produce antibodies—substances the immune system creates after infection.
  • There are many different kinds of HIV tests, including rapid tests and home test kits.
  • All HIV tests approved by the US government are very good at detecting HIV. See the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Q&A on testing for more information.
