So you are worried that you may have HIV but are not sure how to go about HIV testing.

Regrettably many individuals in Australia are putting themselves and others at risk through unprotected sex.  Any sexual  interaction that involves the potential exchange of sexual fluids Carries with it the potential for HIV infection.  The HIV virus does not necessarily have any identifiable symptoms and as a result the only way to test for HIV is through HIV testing.  In Australia individuals have several options available for HIV testing including self testing using the HIV rapid test kit.  These test kits are extremely accurate and easy to use and afford the individual privacy and convenience with their HIV test.  It is impossible to diagnose an individual with HIV without testing that individual for HIV antibodies.

Recent advances in Medical Technology now allows the individual to do this in the privacy and convenience of their own home using an HIV test kit.  These test kits can be purchased online from suppliers such as head start testing in Australia.  The test kits are extremely accurate and can be used by the public and give instant results as to the status of the HIV virus in the individual.

When carrying out an HIV test it is important to remember that the test is only testing for your current HIV antibody status so the recent infection that has not yet had time to develop antibodies will not be detected.  This rule applies to all testing methods including those carried out by specialist centres.  It is for this reason many individuals take her HIV test at one, two and 3 months after possible infection of the HIV virus.
