FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Asanté™ HIV-1/2 Oral-Self Test will only be used with oral fluid specimens.
The Oral Swab is inserted directly in the Sample Buffer Tube, and mixed by moving the Swab up and down at least 2 times. Once mixed, press the Swab against the Tube to expel excess fluid and discard the Swab with local, state, and federal regulations.
The “C” line is the Control Line which will indicate the test is functioning properly. The “T” line is the Test Line which is designed to indicate a positive result for HIV infection when present. Once available, if a positive result is obtained from the Asanté™ HIV-1/2 Oral Self-Test the user should go to a clinic and get re-tested to confirm the result.
If the “C” line does not appear, the test will be considered invalid. The test will be repeated using new Sample Buffer, Oral Swab, and Test Strip.
There no current regulatory approvals for the Asanté™ HIV-1/2 Oral Self-Test. Availability will be dependent upon regulatory approvals within each country prior to sale.
