HIV self-testing

HIV self-test kits allow you to test for HIV in the privacy of your own home. You take a sample - either a saliva swab or blood from a finger prick - test it yourself using the kit and get your result straight away. You don't need to send your sample off to get your result.

HIV testing

Everyone has an HIV status; you are either HIV-negative or HIV-positive. Taking an HIV test won't change your status but it will let you know what it is. Not taking a test doesn't mean that you are HIV-negative; it simply means that you don't know your status.
