What is HIV home test?
The DrThom HIV home test is just like a normal HIV test apart from the fact that you don't need to go to a clinic to
have your blood taken, but collect a saliva sample at home. You then send the saliva sample direct to the laboratory where
your saliva sample is tested.
How does this service work?
Register online, make payment, wait for the discreet pack to arrive, collect your saliva sample and send it off to the
laboratory in the packaging provided. We'll get back to your with your result.
How do I get my result?
When your HIV test result is ready, we'll send you an SMS (text message) telling you to log back into this website to
collect your result. If there's any uncertainty as to what the result is, we'll ask you to give us a telephone number to call
you on. One of our doctors will then advise you to go to a clinic for a blood test. If your test result comes back as
uncertain, it doesn't mean that you have HIV, simply that the test couldn't rule it out.
When you will send me my pack?
Order before 5:00pm Monday to Friday and your pack will be in that day's first class post.
How long to results take?
Most HIV results are ready within three days of your sample reaching the laboratory.
Is this service confidential?
Absolutely. This service is totally confidential. We aren't allowed to inform your GP of the result without your
permission.
How long do I have to wait before having a test?
You must wait three and a half months after possible infection before using this test. This test is unlikely to pick up
signs of HIV infection in the first three and a half months after infection.
