Product Usage Instructions

1. STEP 1: PREPARE
   1. Watch the instructional video provided.
   2. Precautions:
      • Do not eat or drink while performing the test.
      • Read all the steps before testing to ensure accurate
        results.
2. STEP 2: COLLECT BLOOD
   1. Prepare a timer and tissue (not included in the kit, but
      needed).
   2. Open and place all materials on a flat and clean surface:
      • A Test device
      • B 2 alcohol pads
      • C Plaster
      • D Buffer
      • G Disposal bag
   3. Wash hands in warm water and dry. If warm water is not
      available, rub hands together.
   4. Choose the ring finger or middle finger.
   5. Massage and rub hand and finger to increase circulation.
   6. Clean the finger with an alcohol pad (B) and let it dry for 10
      seconds.
   7. Remove the lancet cover and press the lancet (F) against the
      finger until it clicks.
   8. Massage from the base to the tip of the finger and let 2 drops
      of blood fall into the basin (1). If you are having difficulty,
      wipe the finger clean and squeeze again.
   9. Wipe the finger with an alcohol pad (B) and apply the plaster
      (C). If needed, press on the plaster to stop bleeding. Start the
      next step immediately to transfer the blood.
3. STEP 3: TEST
   1. Squeeze the top of the specimen dropper (E).
   2. Dip the dropper into the blood in the basin and release slowly
      to draw the blood into the dropper.
   3. Place the dropper over the well and squeeze the top of the
      dropper to apply 1 drop of blood into the well (2).
   4. Hold the buffer bottle (D) vertically and apply 1 drop of
      buffer into the well (3). Do not tilt.
   5. Wait for 15 minutes.
4. STEP 4: READ RESULT

   Read the result in a well-lit area.

• A line appears only in the control region (C) area. There is no
  line in the test region (T) area. The test did not detect the
  presence of HIV; however, very recent exposure cannot be excluded.
  It is recommended to conduct a retest after 6 weeks from the latest
  risk of exposure to HIV.
• One line in the control region (C) area, together with one line
  in the test region (T) area, no matter how faint, indicates the
  potential to be HIV positive. Consult a healthcare provider. A
  reactive result must be confirmed by a lab test. Protect yourself
  and others. Avoid any activity that could transmit HIV to
  others.
