Hiv self-test, HIV is a chronic virus, sometimes the course of disease may be very short, or there is only a problem with sampling during testing, which leads to inaccurate test results. Let's take a look at the methods of AIDS self-testing.
What are the self-test methods for HIV 1 AIDS?
1, test paper detection
If you want to test yourself for AIDS, you can go to a regular institution or pharmacy to buy AIDS test paper. If there is already AIDS infection in the body, the body will produce antibodies at this time, and you can know whether you are infected with AIDS through the test paper. This is also a popular fast self-test method. You can know whether you are infected with AIDS or not through the information displayed after the test. If you have AIDS, you should take immediate treatment measures to prevent the disease from getting worse and bring health effects.
2, medical equipment testing
If you want to test yourself for AIDS, you can use some medical equipment or machines to test yourself and see if your body has produced HIV antibodies. The general immune method can automatically detect whether the body produces antibodies, which is simple to operate and widely used.
The venue area is relatively small, and you can even test it at home. Therefore, if you want to test whether you have AIDS, you can test it through medical equipment. Buy a complete set of equipment and put it at home. When suspected of having AIDS, use the machine to detect and get accurate results. Once AIDS is diagnosed, treatment measures should be taken immediately to improve the condition through antiviral treatment.
3, combined with clinical symptoms.
In fact, there are few self-test methods for AIDS, and one is more suitable, that is, to judge the clinical manifestations of AIDS. In the development of AIDS, the obvious symptom of patients is fever, which is prone to obvious manifestations such as swollen lymph nodes and weight loss. Muscle pain and gastrointestinal discomfort may occur in the early stage, and with the development of the disease, adverse symptoms of nervous system and respiratory tract may occur.
Pay attention to these abnormal signals. You need to pay attention to them. It is probably caused by AIDS. The virus attacks lymphocytes in the human body and destroys the immune system before these symptoms appear. This is also an effective method for self-detection of AIDS. In this way, you can usually know whether you are infected with HIV.
Hiv Self-test 2 Top Ten Self-tests of AIDS
Step 1: Check the AIDS test paper.
In order to facilitate everyone's operation, the HIV test paper is placed in the plastic card holder, which is more convenient to use, and the detection principle remains unchanged, or the double antigen sandwich method.
The description of each part is as follows: the small round hole (area S) is a sample adding hole, and the blood drops to be measured should be dripped into this hole. The long and narrow concave area is the judgment result area, where t is the position of the detection line and c is the position of the control line.
Step 2: draw blood.
Blood collection equipment: blood collection needle (sewing needle with medium thickness is also acceptable), alcohol and cotton ball.
Blood collection site: fingertip or earlobe. Blood collection method: firstly, disinfect the blood collection site and needle with alcohol cotton ball, and then collect.
Note: the first drop of blood should be discarded, and the second and third drops of blood should be used for testing. Drop the blood directly into the sample adding hole, or inhale a clean straw first and then drop it into the sample adding hole.
Step 3: Interpret the results.
After adding samples, observe the results within 10- 15 minutes.
1, only one red line (control line c) appears on the test paper, which is a negative result;
2. Two red lines appear on the test paper, and (control line C and detection line T) are positive results;
3. There is no red line on the test paper, indicating that the test experiment failed. Please take another card and retest.
It should be pointed out that there are "false positive" results in any testing experiment, so don't be nervous when there are positive results. You can go to the local CDC to confirm or consult us. Of course, all this is confidential. For negative results, if negative results are detected after the "window period", it means that there is no HIV infection, so you can rest assured.
How to prevent AIDS in life
(1), lead an honest and clean life, don't go to illegal blood stations to sell blood, don't set foot in pornographic places, and don't rush in and out of some entertainment places; In any case, we should maintain a strong awareness of AIDS prevention; Don't take any chances; Don't try taking drugs out of curiosity.
(2) When you are sick, you should go to a regular clinic or hospital and pay attention to the safety of blood transfusion. Don't go to medical units, especially individual clinics with unreliable disinfection of medical devices for injections, tooth extraction, acupuncture and surgery. Don't use unsterilized instruments for ear piercing, tattooing and beauty treatment.
(3) Don't share razors, toothbrushes, etc. Together with others, try to avoid contact with other people's body fluids and blood, and disinfect the contaminated items in time.
(4) Pay attention to contact with AIDS patients: When taking blood and injecting for AIDS patients, the syringe should be used once, and the patient's blood, excrement and contaminated items should be completely burned. The patient's utensils and medical instruments should be used by special personnel, such as razors, toothbrushes, towels and teacups. Washing hands with soap after defecation can achieve the purpose of disinfection.
Potential symptoms of AIDS
Speaking of AIDS, I believe everyone knows. How many people know the symptoms of AIDS incubation period? If you don't know, let's take a look.
1, systemic symptoms
The common clinical symptoms of AIDS patients are recurrent low fever (about 72%), accompanied by chills, emaciation, fatigue and emaciation (up to 5-22 kg), followed by extreme lethargy and weakness, which can not support normal physical activities.
When diarrhea occurs, it should be noted that chronic diarrhea is also a very obvious early clinical manifestation of some AIDS patients. And often can't find the cause of fever, diarrhea and weight loss. According to the analysis of the clinical manifestations of 38 cases of AIDS, the above symptoms and signs account for more than 80% of the total cases.
2, lymph node enlargement
The incidence rate was 55% ~ 100%. When patients in high-risk groups have systemic lymphadenopathy that cannot be explained by other reasons, it is likely to be related to HIV infection. Although swollen lymph nodes are systemic, they are more common in cervical, submandibular or axillary lymph nodes.
The swollen lymph nodes are not fused, hard, occasionally tender, and the surface skin has no change. The degree of lymphadenopathy is related to the titer of HIV antibody in serum. In addition, AIDS is accompanied by lymphoma, including Burkitts' lymphoma, immunoblastic lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease, and lymphadenopathy may also occur.
3, skin damage
Skin mucosa is one of the main attack sites of HIV, so AIDS patients often have symptoms of skin damage, such as rash, itching, urticaria and so on.
However, the skin damage is the skin change of Kaposi's sarcoma, and its damage performance will be introduced in later chapters, so it will not be repeated here.

Hiv self-test 3 What should I do if I suspect I have AIDS and don't want to go to the hospital for examination?
In order to avoid embarrassment, I will share with you two self-test methods for AIDS.
The first is the blood test paper.
Testing. Its detection method is to puncture a little skin with a blood collection needle to get a blood sample. This detection method is generally not suitable for detecting the first drop of blood when taking blood, and the second or third drop of blood should be used. The sampling site is the fingertip, and the result can appear within 15-40 minutes.
The second is saliva test.
This saliva detection method directly takes the saliva at the gum as the detection object, which has the advantage that blood is not needed, so there is no pain. But also greatly protects the privacy of patients, and the operation is very simple. But because of the HIV antibody in saliva,
It is still relatively rare, and the accuracy of this detection method is relatively high, which can reach more than 90%.
Also, I used an AIDS test paper.
When testing, it is recommended to test several times, and the test cycle should be separated for a period of time.
This is because of HIV.
It is a chronic virus, sometimes it may have a short course of disease, or it may just be that there is a problem with sampling during testing, which leads to inaccurate test results. So if you choose self-test, it is recommended to do it several times. Although there is a very convenient test paper now, you can take the self-study exam and test. But it should be emphasized that the purpose of the test is to know your own situation. Even if 99% is correct, it's hard to guarantee whether you are that 1%.
