HIV Home Test Kit


Choose Your Test Package :

There is no HIV test that can detect HIV immediately after infection.

It is recommended to get tested at least 7 weeks after possible exposure to HIV infection.

If you don't know when you got infected, we recommend testing every 12 weeks.

If you suspect HIV exposure, it is best to get yourself tested as soon as you can. You can order our next day HIV home test kit.

Late diagnosis of HIV has a major effect on the effectiveness of the treatment. If you test positive, PExpo will refer you to a specialist free blood testing service near your home and assist you with starting treatment as soon as possible.

What is an HIV test kit?

HIV is an infection resulting from the human immunodeficiency virus attacking the body’s immune system.

HIV is most commonly transmitted in the United Kingdom by anal or vaginal sex when adequate protection is not used during sexual intercourse. 

  • 99.7% Clinical Sensitivity

  • 99.9% Clinical Specificity

The science behind our HIV home test kit and in-clinic testing is similar to a pregnancy test. The kit detects the antibody in your blood sample (a small finger prick at home is needed - not a full invasive blood draw ). These antibodies are very specific to HIV which produces a line in your test cassette to confirm the presence of the virus.

Symptoms of HIV infection :

+ Symptoms?

Knowing your HIV status is vital for your and your partner's sexual health. Some HIV Symptoms are :

  • fever & high temperature
  • sore throat
  • unexplained body rash
  • fatique
  • headache.

+ Preventing HIV?

By using our rapid HIV test kit you can monitor and prevent the transmission of HIV. The transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases could be dramatically reduced if everyone tested themselves every time they change a sexual partner.

At PExpo, we use CE-labelled HIV home test kits with quick and reliable results. You have the choice of uploading your test kit cassette photo to our discreet and secure online portal.

Your specialist will perform three blood tests free of charge to confirm the result of your rapid home test.

Depending on your viral load of the virus, a treatment is tailored by the doctor. All HIV treatments are free of charge in the UK with discreet and confidential data stored not being shared without your consent with your GP. This is regardless of your immigration or residency status in the UK.

+ What is AIDS?

AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. If you are infected with HIV and the virus is left untreated, your immune system can be severely damaged and you can develop AIDS.
The HIV virus can be transmitted from person to person, but AIDS is not. AIDS develops in the body after living for a long time with untreated HIV. You cannot be diagnosed with AIDS unless you are already HIV positive. As long as HIV is diagnosed early and treated effectively, it is unlikely that you will develop an AIDS-related illness. You are more likely to live a long and healthy life.
