How accurate is a blood test for HIV?
Antibody/Antigen HIV Test
Blood tests for HIV known as antibody/antigen tests, like this test, are highly accurate in detecting the presence of the HIV virus. These tests have been extensively studied and have shown excellent sensitivity and specificity.
The sensitivity of a test refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals who have the infection (true positives), while specificity refers to its ability to correctly identify individuals who do not have the infection (true negatives).
HIV antibody/antigen tests have high sensitivity and specificity, typically ranging between 99.5-99.9%. This means that they are very reliable in accurately detecting HIV infections.
However, it’s important to note that no test is 100% perfect, and there is always a small possibility of false-positive or false-negative results. Factors such as the timing of the test (wait at least two weeks following exposure or treatment) and sample collection technique (follow sample collection instructions closely) most commonly can affect test sensitivity and specificity. For the most accurate negative results, we recommend you retest after 4 weeks from your possible exposure date to confirm your negative HIV status. If there are any concerns about positive results, we recommend you consult with a healthcare professional and have your test repeated.

What does an at home HIV screen test result show?
HIV Test (Screen) Result
Your at home chlamydia test results will tell you if your blood contains HIV antibodies or the p24 antigen.
How soon after unprotected sex can I test for HIV?
When To Test for HIV
Getting tested for chlamydia after unprotected anal, vaginal, or oral sex is usually done no sooner than 4 weeks after potential exposure. For the most accurate results, some physicians recommend testing after 6 weeks. To attain complete peace of mind, you may consider a follow-up blood HIV test at the 3-month mark to confirm your negative result.
Can I buy this HIV blood test now and use it later?
Test now or within one year of purchase. This at home blood HIV test kit has a guaranteed expiration date of at least 12 months. That’s great news if you are buying more than one test to recheck yourself in the future.

How is my privacy protected?

This reporting is solely intended to monitor and track the prevalence of infections. If you receive positive test results for chlamydia, Gonorrhea, hepatitis C, herpes symplex 2, HIV, HPV, syphilis, or trichomoniasis through a 4U Health at-home STD test, depending on individual state requirements, our network of labs may share this information with your state health board for the purpose of tracking. Our at-home STD tests provide you with the knowledge of your STI status, and your information will remain otherwise confidential.
What are the most common STDs in the US?
Most Common STDs
1 in 5 peaople in the US have a STD. In 2018 alone, approximately 26 million Americans had a sexually transmitted disease (STD). The specific ranking and infection rates of STDs vary over time. It’s always best to refer to up-to-date sources such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the most recent information. Incidence of STDs means new infections. Here is a list of common STDs in rough order of incidence as of 2018:
1. Human papillomavirus (HPV): 13 million (M) estimated new HPV infections.
2. Trichomoniasis (Trich): 6.9 M estimated new Trich infections.
3. Chlamydia: 4 M estimated new chlamydia infections.
4. Gonorrhea: 1.6 M estimated new Gonorrhea infections.

What are the common STDs?
What is Human Papillomavirus (HPV)?
HPV, or human papillomavirus, is a common viral infection that affects the skin and mucous membranes. It is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex. There are various strains of HPV, some of which can cause genital warts and increase the risk of certain types of cancer, such as cervical, anal, vulvar, vaginal, penile, or oropharyngeal cancer. There is no cure for HPV. While most HPV infections resolve on their own without causing symptoms or complications, vaccination, regular screenings, and practicing safe sex are important preventive measures to reduce the risk of HPV-related health issues.
What is what is Trichomoniasis (Trich)?
Trich is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It is a common STI that affects both men and women, but it is more common in women. Trichomoniasis is transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, and anal sex. Most people with trichomoniasis do not experience any symptoms, but if symptoms do occur, they can include itching or irritation in the genital area, discharge from the vagina or penis (which may be frothy and yellow-green), pain or burning during urination, and pain during sexual intercourse. Trichomoniasis is usually treated with antibiotics, and it is important to get tested and treated if you are sexually active or have had unprotected sex with a new or casual partner. Using condoms and other forms of protection can help reduce the risk of trichomoniasis and other STIs.
What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium chlamydia trachomatis. It is one of the most common STIs in the world and can affect both men and women. Chlamydia is transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, and anal sex. It can also be transmitted from a mother to her baby during childbirth. Most people with chlamydia do not experience any symptoms, but if left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems, such as infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease. Chlamydia is usually treated with antibiotics, and it is important to get tested and treated if you are sexually active or have had unprotected sex with a new or casual partner. Using condoms and other forms of protection can help reduce the risk of chlamydia and other STIs.
What is Gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is a common STI that can affect both men and women. Gonorrhea is transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, and anal sex. It can also be transmitted from a mother to her baby during childbirth. Most people with gonorrhea do not experience any symptoms, but if left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems, such as infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease. Gonorrhea is usually treated with antibiotics, and it is important to get tested and treated if you are sexually active or have had unprotected sex with a new or casual partner. Using condoms and other forms of protection can help reduce the risk of gonorrhea and other STIs.
What is genital Herpes?
Genital herpes is a viral infection generally caused by the Herpes simplex 2 virus (HSV2). It is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex. The infection results in the development of painful sores or blisters in the genital area. These sores can recur periodically and may be accompanied by flu-like symptoms such as fever and swollen lymph nodes. While there is no cure for genital herpes, antiviral medications can help manage outbreaks, reduce symptoms, and decrease the risk of transmission. It is important to practice safe sex and communicate openly with sexual partners to minimize the risk of contracting or spreading genital Herpes.
Herpes 1 or 2 which is worse?
In terms of severity, both Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) can cause similar symptoms, but HSV-2 is generally associated with more frequent and severe outbreaks of genital Herpes. However, it’s important to note that individual experiences with the virus can vary, and the impact of the infection can be influenced by factors such as the person’s immune system and management of the condition.
What is Syphilis?
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Syphilis progresses through different stages, including primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary stages, each with its own set of symptoms and complications. It can present as painless sores or ulcers, rash, fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. Syphilis can have severe long-term consequences if left untreated, affecting various organs and systems in the body, including the heart, brain, and nervous system. Early detection through testing and prompt treatment with antibiotics can effectively cure Syphilis and prevent its complications.
What is Hepatitis C (HCV)?
Hepatitis C is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver. It is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The infection is commonly transmitted through contact with infected blood, such as through sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia, receiving contaminated blood transfusions, from mother to baby during childbirth, or sexual intercourse. Hepatitis C can lead to both acute and chronic liver disease, and if left untreated, it can cause severe complications like liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer. Treatment options for hepatitis C have improved in recent years, and antiviral medications can effectively cure the infection in most cases, reducing the risk of long-term liver damage. It is important to get tested for hepatitis C if at risk and take preventive measures to avoid exposure.
What is Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)?
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It is a viral infection that attacks the immune system, specifically targeting CD4 cells, a type of white blood cell crucial for the body’s defense against infections. HIV is primarily transmitted through unprotected sexual intercourse, sharing contaminated needles or syringes, and from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. If left untreated, HIV can progress to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), which is the late stage of the infection and characterized by severe immune system damage, making individuals more susceptible to opportunistic infections and certain cancers. While there is no cure for HIV, antiretroviral therapy (ART) can effectively manage the virus, allowing people with HIV to live long and healthy lives. Preventive measures such as practicing safe sex, using sterile needles, and accessing HIV testing and treatment are crucial in reducing transmission rates and improving overall health outcomes.
What is Hepatitis B (HBV)?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). The infection can be transmitted through contact with infected blood, unprotected sexual intercourse, sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia, and from mother to baby during childbirth. Hepatitis B can lead to both acute and chronic liver disease, which can range from mild illness to severe conditions such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. While there is no cure for Hepatitis B, antiviral medications and vaccines are available to manage the infection, prevent complications, and reduce the risk of transmission. It is important to get vaccinated against Hepatitis B and take precautions to avoid exposure to infected blood and other bodily fluids.
