What will happen at my appointment?

• We will have a brief discussion with you to obtain your informed consent
• We will use a finger prick blood test, which will give a result within 60 seconds.
• Appointment slots are scheduled for 30 minutes to allow time for any questions/ cleaning room after appointment.

How accurate is the result?

If your last HIV risk was more than 3 months ago and you receive a non-reactive result it means that there is a very strong chance you do not have HIV at this time. The Insti-HIV test we use has an accuracy rate of 99.8% after 3 months.

If your last HIV risk was less than 3 months ago, you will have to take another test in 3 months from the risk event to get an accurate result. This is to allow time for any antibodies to potentially develop.
