How reliable is test.hiv?

Very reliable

Hey,

Gonna get a test done, I can't go to a clinic/GP due to my family :/.
Has anyone used test.hiv kit? I can't see it being mentioned anywhere on the NHS... So I was wondering how reliable it is?

Thanks!

Hi. Do you mind if I ask what it is that means you can't go to a clinic or anything? Obviously if you have contracted something you'll need to sort out what you need to do about that so you may need to see somebody anyway.

As far as the test.hiv kit goes, this is what their site says about the accuracy:
"The HIV test may not detect an infection that was contracted very recently.
The test highly accurate after 4 weeks, and almost 100% accurate after 8 weeks.
If you have had unprotected sex in the last 6-8 weeks, we recommend you test immediately and also complete a new test kit in 6 weeks to be sure of your status."

My family is religious and would be upset that I've had sex before marriage. I have a family friend who works in my local GP and he would tell my parents if he saw me there. It would be hard explaining why I went to the GP without telling them :/

If I have anything then I guess I would have no option but tell them. I'd rather not do that unless it comes to that, fingers crossed it doesn't.

Thanks! I've ordered it and I'll test me self soon!
