Intended Use and Test Procedure

The iCARE Anti-HIV (1&2) Rapid Test is intended for the qualitative detection of HIV antibodies in human blood, serum, or plasma. This test is particularly valuable for healthcare professionals as a preliminary screening tool.

The test procedure is straightforward: a sample is applied to the sample well, where it reacts with a recombinant HIV antigen conjugated to colloidal gold. This complex migrates along the test strip and is captured by recombinant HIV antigens immobilized on a membrane, forming a colored test band.

The presence of this test band indicates a positive result, while its absence signifies a negative result. Regardless of the test outcome, a control band will appear to confirm the test’s functionality.
