Product Description

What is HIV and AIDS?

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, the body's defence against illness. If left untreated, HIV can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HIV and AIDS can't be cured, but the medications available today help people live normal life spans.

How is HIV passed on?

HIV is present in sexual fluids and blood of infected people, it may also be in the breast-milk of infected women. Because of the way in which HIV is spread the 2 most common ways of contracting the virus is through unprotected penetrative sex (where the penis enters the vagina or anus) and the use of infected needles and syringes. HIV can also be passed on to an unborn baby either before or during birth. There is a small risk of you contracting HIV through oral sex, but this is very rare.

HIV is not a strong virus and so doesn't survive outside the body for long, this is why it is not possible for HIV to be contracted through touching, hugging, sharing cutlery, insect bites, toilet seats or eating food that has been prepared by a person with H.I.V.

Testing for H.I.V.

You could visit your GP or local Gum Clinic and they will be able to carry out a test for you. This will require a sample of blood being taken and being sent off to a laboratory where results could take up to 3 days to come back.

Nowadays there are new tests which can be carried out quickly and easily in the privacy of your own home and results will take only a matter of minutes to appear. We offer one of the few CE Marked Self-Testing kits for H.I.V. called Insti. It is over 99% accurate and is being used by several NHS clinics throughout the UK.
