After 10 minutes your test will be finished. It is now time to read the results.

you need to make sure you have performed the test correctly. Look at your device and compare to the images to make sure the top line, the control line, is visible.

If you can see a line your test has worked and you can move on. If no control line is visible you need to stop here as your test has not been performed correctly and your result will not be accurate.

Compare your test device to the images. 

If the control line is the only line visible your test result is negative. This means it is very likely you DON’T have an infection (a negative result is correct 999 times out of every 1000 negative tests).

If two lines are visible on your test device your test result is positive. This means it is very likely you have an infection (a positive result is correct 999 times out of every 1000 positive tests).

If you tested POSITIVE, don’t panic. Remember STIs including HIV are either treatable or have a long term management plan.

Early diagnosis and treatment mean that either you will be fully treated, or , in case of HIV, can live healthy, active lives and have a similar life expectancy as those people without HIV.
