Saliva is not contagious, why can it be detected?

Saliva contains a very small amount of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and various proteases in the mouth can degrade HIV and make it inactive. Therefore, saliva does not normally transmit HIV. Awareness in the saliva is AIDS antibody (also known as HIV antibody), which is an immunoglobulin against HIV that is secreted by the human body after HIV infection. The concentration of HIV antibodies in oral samples is 1/1000 of the blood sample concentration.

How accurate is the Ivey test?

Aware products have passed the STD / AIDS Prevention and Control Center of China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Hubei Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Henan Province Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Sichuan Province Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Xinjiang Province Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; The second hospital, Beijing Ditan Hospital and other authoritative organizations evaluated 3276 cases of clinical data and concluded that the total sensitivity was 99.3%; the total specificity was 99.9%; the total accuracy was 99.8%.

What is the window period? Can I test for HIV during the window?

The window period refers to the period from the beginning of HIV infection to the time when antibodies are produced in the body and can be detected by conventional testing methods at that time. Usually 3 months, a few may be longer. People living with HIV in the window period are also infectious. Therefore, regular testing is recommended, with an interval of 3-6 months; the test results during the window are usually negative.

What precautions should I take when using Aiwei test?

In order to ensure the accuracy of sample collection, special attention should be paid when adopting this product: this product can be used for voluntary consultation and testing. In order to protect your privacy rights from being violated by others, this experiment should be conducted in a relatively independent and secure environment. Residual HIV-positive semen in the mouth will affect the test results. Dental plaque, periodontitis, and periodontal disease do not affect the test results. The best test environment for this product should be 15-30 degrees Celsius. Brush and rinse your mouth for 30 minutes before sampling. After the first sampling test is completed, if a second sampling test is required, the sampling test shall be performed 30 minutes after the first test is completed. After the calypte interference test in the United States, this product is not affected by smoking, drinking, coffee, milk, tea, carbonated drinks, fruit juice, cola, water, orange juice, meals, etc. If you have the above behavior before the test, please take a sample 10 minutes after the meal. When sampling with an oral swab, try to stretch the swab into the gingival sulcus and wipe it back and forth against the gingival sulcus line as much as possible. Simply wiping the teeth will cause incomplete sampling and affect the test results. Remove the clean oral swab from the bag without touching the cloth pad end of the oral swab. When removing the test strip from the aluminum foil bag, do not touch the surface of the intermediate film of the test strip and the water absorption area under the test strip. From the time when the test strip is placed in the diluent, to 30 minutes, please read the test carefully with naked eyes under the condition of sufficient lighting (natural light or white fluorescent lamp) with a non-reversing white (eg white printing paper) as the background result. If two lines appear, the test result reads positive regardless of the color of the test line.

What if the test is positive?

HIV testing is divided into primary screening and confirmatory tests, and the initial screening results may appear false positive. Because the initial screening is to try to screen the positives as much as possible, the sensitivity is very high and false positives may occur. If the initial screening result is positive, it must be confirmed by experiments to determine whether it is infected.

If the test is negative, does it mean there is no infection?

The result of the initial screening test is negative. There are three possibilities: 1) it means that you are not infected with HIV; 2) it is temporarily undetectable during the "window period". Eliminate the infection; 3) The HIV infection has been for a long time and has not been treated in time, so the immune level has dropped significantly and the test shows negative. It is recommended that regular high-risk actors be regularly tested, caring for themselves, and caring for others.
