Key Benefits of the OraQuick Self Test

• Empowerment: Gives you direct control over your health status, enabling informed decisions.
• Accessibility: A vital option for those in remote areas or with limited access to traditional testing facilities.

How to Use the Kit

Using the OraQuick kit is straightforward. First, ensure you are within the recommended window period (at least 3 months after potential exposure). Remove the test device and swab. Gently swab your upper and lower gums once to collect an oral fluid sample. Place the swab in the pre-filled test vial and set the timer. Wait 20-40 minutes and read your result. A single line at 'C' is negative. Lines at both 'C' and 'T' indicate a preliminary positive result, which must be confirmed with a follow-up test at a healthcare facility. The kit includes detailed pictorial instructions.
