Rapid HIV 1/2 Tests We Use


OraQuick ADVANCE Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test

Detection is the first step in prevention. Stop the spread of HIV one simple test at a time.

The OraQuick ADVANCE® Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test detects antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 in 20 minutes.


  • Rapid
    Provides results in 20 minutes, enabling patients to learn their status in a single visit and allows HIV positive patients to be connected to care immediately.
  • Flexible
    Approved for oral fluid, plasma, fingerstick or venipuncture whole blood specimens. Ideal for both clinical and non-clinical settings.
  • Accurate
    Greater than 99% agreement with confirmatory Western blot.1
  • Simple
    CLIA-waived for oral fluid, fingerstick and venipuncture whole blood and offers the ability to test in non-traditional testing environments, such as outreach programs and mobile testing clinics.
  • Patient-Preferred2
    Offers patients accurate HIV testing without the need for blood or needles. Pain-free testing with oral fluid means more people get screened, more HIV positive patients are connected to care and fewer people are exposed.
