A positive result on any HIV test should be confirmed with a second test at a healthcare facility. It uses a mouth swab and gives results in 20-40 minutes. In 2012, the FDA approved the first true “in-home” HIV test. In November 2010, the FDA approved the INSTI test, which gives results within 60 seconds. Rapid HIV test results are available within 10-30 minutes after the sample is taken. Newer tests can detect HIV antibodies in mouth fluid (not the same as saliva), a scraping from inside the cheek, or urine. The most common HIV test is a blood test. In the U.S., call the National AIDS Hotline (800) 342-2437. Test results are usually available within 1-2 weeks. You can arrange for HIV testing at a public health office, your healthcare provider’s office, or at many community-based organizations that provide HIV testing and prevention services. These tests measure how much virus is in the blood ( viral load) or the strength of their immune system ( CD4 cell count). People who already know they have HIV might get other laboratory tests. Newer HIV tests can also look for signs of the virus itself in the blood. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to fight a specific germ. Most of these tests look for antibodies to HIV. HIV testing tells people if they have Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
