Knowit HIV 1/2 Rapid Test Kit

The Knowit HIV Rapid Test Kit is a diagnostic screening tool used for the qualitative detection of antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2. It is a commonly used kit in Nigeria for fast screening in both clinical environments and for private use.

Fast and Accurate Screening

This test kit utilizes a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay to deliver results in approximately 15 to 20 minutes. It is designed to detect both HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies (IgG and IgM) from a small sample of whole blood, serum, or plasma.

Simple Procedure

The Knowit kit is known for its straightforward testing process. It typically requires a small finger-prick blood sample (approx. 50μL). The ease of use makes it a preferred choice for mass testing programs and individual health checks.

How to use the Knowit HIV Test Kit

1. Ensure the test kit is at room temperature before use.
2. Clean the finger with an alcohol swab and use a sterile lancet to prick the skin.
3. Collect the blood sample and add it to the sample well of the test cassette.
4. Add the required amount of buffer solution.
5. Wait for the colored lines to appear. Read the results between 15 and 20 minutes. Do not interpret results after 30 minutes.

Important Note: This kit is a screening tool. A reactive (positive) result must be confirmed with a laboratory-based follow-up test. If you are unsure about the procedure or your results, please contact a GoMed pharmacist or visit the nearest healthcare facility.

Storage and Safety

Store the kit in a cool, dry place between 2°C and 30°C. Do not freeze. Ensure the foil pouch is unopened before use. Due to reports of falsified diagnostics in the market, always purchase your medical supplies from trusted sources like GoMed.
