What is an HIV Test Kit?
A mail-in HIV test is an antigen/antibody test that includes supplies to collect a small sample of blood from a finger stick.
You or your health care provider can order the test online and send the sample to a lab for testing. If your provider orders the test, they will contact you with the test results.
