My Review of Fujibio HIV test kit

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) targets the immune system and weakens people's defense systems against infections and some types of cancer. As the virus destroys and impairs the function of immune cells, infected individuals gradually become immunodeficient. Immune function is typically measured by CD4 cell count. Immunodeficiency results in increased susceptibility to a wide range of infections, cancers and other diseases that people with healthy immune systems can fight off.

The most advanced stage of HIV infection is Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which can take from 2 to 15 years to develop depending on the individual. AIDS is defined by the development of certain cancers, infections, or other severe clinical manifestations.




Fujibio HIV 1/2 One Step Device is the most accurate HIV test kit that you can do in the privacy of your own home. It detects the presence of antibodies from all HIV types which are HIV-1 and HIV-2 that are present in the blood with a remarkable 99.9% accuracy. This HIV Test Kit uses blood as a specimen. Latest research shows that an HIV test using blood as a specimen gives a more accurate results than an HIV test using saliva as a specimen. Fujibio HIV 1/2 One Step Device is clinically proven to detect HIV infection as early as 6 weeks post infection. Result is ready in just 10 minutes.

BEFORE TAKING THE TEST

It is very important that you are psychologically ready in taking the test. Our trained team of counselors are ready to accept your calls so you can express more about your fears and concerns in taking an HIV Test. All information that you will provide with our counselors are kept confidential and will never be shared to anyone.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Allow test device, buffer, serum, plasma or whole blood specimen, and/or controls to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30oC) prior to testing.

1. Remove the cassette from the sealed foil pouch and use it as soon as possible
2. Place the cassette on a clean and level surface.
For the Serum/Plasma: Transfer2-3 drops of serum or plasma to the sample well (labeled S) of the cassettes.
For Whole blood: transfer 1 drop of whole blood (about 20-30ul) to the sample well (labeled S) of the cassette, then add 1-2 drops (approximately 80-100ul) of buffer
3. Wait for the red or pink line(s) to appear. The test line should be read within 20 minutes.

Note: Low titers of anti-HIV ½ antibodies might result in a faint line appearing in the test region (T) after a prolonged time.



INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS:
(Please refer to the illustration)
POSITIVE: Two distinct red lines appear. One line should be in the control region (c) and another line should be in the test region (T).



NEGATIVE: One red line appears in the control region (c). No apparent red or pink line appears in the test region (T).



INVALID: control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new test cassette. If the problem persists, discontinue using the test kit immediately and contact your distributor.



NOTE: the intensity of the red color in the test line region (T) will vary depending on the concentration of anti-HIV ½ antibodies present in the specimen. However, neither the quantitative value nor the rate of increase in anti-HIV ½ antibodies can be determined by this qualitative test.

AFTER TAKING THE TEST

If the device shows a negative result after carefully following our HIV test kit user manual and it has been 3 months since you had a risk incident, you likely do not have HIV.

If the device shows a positive result, You will have to call our team of counselors so we can provide more information on how to get confirmatory testing using western blot. We will also provide you with information on what to do at this point as well as resources to various HIV support groups near your area. Rest assured that calls are strictly confidential.
