Home Access Kits how do they work

HOw do you get results so quickly?

Please anybody that has used these tell me how the process works, how much they cost and do you have to get it from a pharmacy and ask for it or is it on the shelf?

What confuses me is if you mail it, doesnt it take a few days to get to wherever the testing site is?

thank you?

I just did one today. I got it at walgreens for 59.99 at the drive up pharmacy.

it was pretty easy. you just ***** your finger with a tool supplied in the kit and drip the blood on a sheet. let dry for 30 minutes and package it up in a provided prepaid fedex package and drop it in  the fedex box. you keep the code and call in for your results. it says next day on the box but when you call the automated number to register your code it says 3 business days so I am not sure which.

hope this helps and good luck. I know I need some luck based on all of my symptoms.

my risk was a girl assumed to be high risk took a shot in her mouth and directly transferred it into mine. I am worried that she could have had blood in her mouth that got into mine just like what you see  when you brush and there is blood wheb you spit.

I have had all of the symptoms starting 3 days after that and still 3 months later have had sore armpits and red spots randomly on skin and sensitive skin on scrotum and anus. even worse my wife started having symptoms 4 days after we had sex which is what made me start worrying about hiv in the first place.

my chances do not look good.

Ok.

You had zero risk.

ARS doenst come on 3 days later.

You will be fine.

Let us know when you find out you are negative.
