How does One Step HIV Test™ kit work?
You stick your finger with the one-time use lancet and allow one drop of blood to fall into the sample well. Then 2 drops of a developer solution are added. Over the next few minutes, your blood migrates up into the test area. If your blood contains the antibody to HIV (present only if you have been exposed to and infected by HIV), it will attach at an area marked “T” for “test”. A pink line appears to show that this has occurred. If there is no pink line next to “T”, then there is no HIV detected in the blood at that time.
