HIV RDTs

HIV Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) are quick, easy-to-use tools that detect indicators of HIV infection, typically within 20 minutes. They work by analyzing a small blood or oral fluid sample for antibodies produced by the body in response to HIV. RDTs provide fast results, helping healthcare providers diagnose HIV quickly and start treatment promptly. They are highly accurate, especially when used correctly, and are valuable in clinics, screening programs, and remote areas where laboratory testing may not be available. Overall, RDTs are an essential part of HIV testing strategies for timely diagnosis and care.
