The OraQuick® ADVANCETM Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test is used to see if a sample of your oral fluid or blood contains HIV antibodies. If you decide to have an OraQuick® ADVANCETM test, your healthcare provider will collect an oral fluid sample or take a small droplet of blood from your finger, or daw blood from your vein, run the test, and give the results to you during the same visit. The OraQuick® ADVANCETM test is very accurate. However, additional testing is necessary to confirm a preliminary positive result. Complete information about the OraQuick® ADVANCETM Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test is available from your testing counselor or healthcare provider.
