Home Based HIV Testing Using Urine

Both HIV positive and HIV negative people frequently test positive for antibodies. The majority of the time, these antibodies are found in blood samples, although rarely saliva can also be found in mouth swabs.......CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE>>>>>

It has been discovered that urine can be used to test for the virus in addition to the physiological fluids already listed. According to a report, antibodies, which can have odd looks (hivinsite), can be found using urine.

In this case, an ELISA test will be used to identify the antibodies. A lab will receive the urine sample for ELISA analysis. The sample will be put into a machine that has HIV antigen and anti-HIV antibodies by a lab worker.

You can also administer the test at home by simply following the instructions. Urine should fill a basin halfway. Put urine and the specific antigen in a petri dish. If you have blood-borne antibodies that are tailored to the antigen, the two will bind together.

The signal will be amplified and the background color will be stronger as a result. Antibodies are typically identified within a few hours. On the other hand, the Western blot will support positive ELISA test results.

It is used most frequently as a confirmatory test. If antibodies are discovered, positive test results indicate that you are HIV positive. If there are no antibodies, you are HIV-negative and healthy.
