What is HIV?
HIV (the human immunodeficiency virus) is a
serious viral infection that is spread through
body fluids, including through sexual
intercourse, and this includes vaginal, anal and
sometimes oral sex. HIV can also be spread by
needle stick contamination, by sharing needles,
receiving surgical treatment in foreign countries
(where sterilization of equipment may not meet
the standards of developed countries) and
sometimes it can be passed from the mother to a
child during the birth process or through breast
feeding.

What are the symptoms of HIV?

• Not everyone that is infected by HIV will show
  signs or symptoms of the infection. At first
  individuals may experience flu-like symptoms,
  these can include
• Diarrhoea
• Headaches
• Fatigue
• sore throat
• muscle aches and pains
• If these symptoms do occur they can subside for a
  number of years and the HIV can go undetected in
  the body, but during this time the virus will
  multiply and can be passed on to other people.

What's the big deal with HIV?

• If left alone and not managed or treated with
  antiviral tablets, the infection can lead on to a
  condition called AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency
  syndrome), where the immune system becomes
  weakened and this could eventually lead to life
  threatening infections and even cancers.
• AIDS is the last and final stage of the HIV
  infection this is when your body can no longer
  fight the infection.
• However, if caught early through testing, with
  the correct antiviral medication, most people
  with HIV will not go on to develop AIDS.
• Around 20 of people living in the UK with HIV
  are thought to be undiagnosed and are unaware
  that they are carrying the infection. This
  increases the risk to their partners and
  themselves of developing serious ill-health
  problems.

HIV home testing

• A discreet Test kit is provided simply at home
  sample then forwarded to the laboratory using our
  self addressed envelope.
• If you think you have been exposed to the risk of
  HIV then you should get tested immediately.
• TESTD offers the latest in HIV testing
  technology. If you are generally concerned for
  your health and would like total peace of mind we
  offer a next day 5th Generation HIV Duo test.
  This is the most advanced method of testing for
  HIV and can be done from day 28 onwards following
  a potential exposure.
• The 5th generation HIV Duo test looks for both
  antibodies and the p24 antigen for HIV and is
  incredibly accurate (over 99.9 sensitivity).
