How Does HIV Express Test Kit Work?

Code Number Registration and Pre-Test Counseling You begin by calling a toll free number to register your anonymous Access code number and complete pre-test counseling, questions and demographic information. You can choose to speak to a representative or use our automated registration and education system. Our counselors are available to help you with any questions or personal concerns.

Step 1.a. - Save Your Access Code Number
	Tear off the top sheet of your Blood Specimen Collection Card. It contains your personal Access Code Number. Keep your code number in a safe place.

Step 1.b. - Read Informed Consent Section
	Before registering your Access Code Number, read the conditions of Informed consent.

Step 1.c. - Register Your Access Code Number
	Before collecting your blood spot specimen, you must call 1-800-400-8988 to register your code number. Register any time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Counselors are available (except holidays) for assistance and to answer questions.

Sample Collection Using the retractable safety lancet provided, you prick your fingertip and place drops of blood on the blood specimen card included in the test kit. You only need enough blood to fill a circle the size of a dime.

Step 2.b. - Read All Specimen Collection Instructions
	Read and carefully follow the directions for use inside your kit.

Step 2.c. - Wash and Dry Hands
	Wash your hands with soap and warm (not hot) tap water. Dry your hands thoroughly.

Step 2.d. - Uncover Blood Specimen Collection Card Circle
	Before you draw your blood drops, uncover the printed circle on the Blood Specimen Collection Card.

Step 2.e. - Choose Finger and Puncture Site
	Choose a puncture site on the "soft" pad of the fingertip, preferably on the middle or ring finger.

Step 2.f. - Clean Puncture Site with Alcohol Prep Pad and Dry with Gauze Pad
	Clean the selected puncture site with the Alcohol Prep Pad.

Step 2.g. - Stimulate Blood Flow to the Fingers
	Let your hand with the finger you intend to lance hang at your side for 30 seconds. Vigorously "shake" your fingers and arm back and forth for a few seconds.

Step 2.h. - Position your Hand and Safety Lancet
	Support the back of your hand on a table or countertop with the palm up. Place the Safety Lancet in the other hand between the first and second fingers. Your thumb should be on the lancet trigger.

Step 2.i. - Draw Blood Drops
	Firmly press the tip of the Safety Lancet against the pad of the selected finger, using steady pressure to form a dimple. Forcefully depress the lancet's trigger with your thumb.

Step 2.j. - Apply Pressure to Finger Near Puncture Site
	Turn your hand over and let large drops of blood collect at the puncture site. To increase blood flow, use your thumb and first finger on your other hand to gently apply pressure around puncture site.

Step 2.k. - Add Blood Drops to Circle on Blood Specimen Collection Card
	Once a large drop of blood has formed, touch the blood drop gently inside the circle printed on the Blood Specimen Collection Card . Apply blood drops inside the circle until it is completely filled.

Step 2.l. - Check Back of Circle to See if Blood Soaked Through

Right

Wrong

To ensure you have enough blood on the Blood Specimen Collection Card pull back the protective cover and inspect the circle on the back (see diagrams below). If there are areas where the blood has not soaked through, place additional blood drops on the front side of that area until the circle on the back is completely filled.

Step 2.m. - Apply Bandage
	After completely filling the circle with blood, apply an Adhesive Bandage to the puncture site.

Step 2.n. - Place Used Saftey Lancet(s) in Lancet Disposal Container
	Put used Safety Lancet(s) in the Lancet Disposal Container. Snap the container shut by pressing down hard on the lid. Safely dispose of the sealed Lancet Disposal Container and all other used materials in your home garbage.
