TESTIMONIALS
“I was hesitant about the accuracy of a home hiv test at first, but after learning that this is FDA approved, I gave it a try. It's a better option for me since I believe it can best protect my privacy ”

"No matter how many you take an HIV test, it's never an easy thing. Regardless of what you think the results will be. I didn't want to go into a clinic and wait there. I didn't want to talk to my doctor. I just wanted to take the test. I saw this test at Walgreens when I was picking up something else. I didn't want to buy there. I came online and found it. The whole process, from the time I got home until the time I drop it in the FedEx box will have taken about 60 minutes. I think it's worth the cost and the effort. I recommend this test to anyone, who like me, needs to know. "

"Working in the medical field, it never hurts to know one's status. Although we do use universal precautions, I've worked with a lot of AIDS patients, as well as patients who were high risk. The home HIV Test was easy to use with clear, simple instructions. Everything for testing was provided, right down to the postage-paid mailer. It was completely confidential. I received my test results in less than a week. You get them by calling a toll-free number and entering your private access code number. All in all, it was a very good product, easy to use, and I'd recommend it to anyone who may be high risk for HIV.”
