Welcome
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) attacks the immune system, the body's defense against infection. HIV is commonly transmitted during sex or intravenous (IV) drug use. There are an estimated 40 million people living in the world with HIV. Currently there is no cure, but early detection and treatment can help people live much longer. This service would be good for you if you think you are able to cope with being told the results without a specialist present. You should always consider a follow-up test at a clinic.
It is very important that you wait three and a half months after possible infection before testing for HIV. This is because any test is unlikely to pick up signs of HIV infection in the first 14 weeks of infection. For more information on HIV, please visit The Body.
Our service is totally confidential. We won't inform anyone of any details. You can buy a home Rapid Anti-HIV (1&2) Test here and we will deliver it via 1st class post. The test kits sold here are 99.9% accurate. You will know the results within 10 minutes. The tests screen and detect HIV-1 & HIV-2 antibodies in a blood sample. The presence of HIV antibodies indicates the presence of the HIV virus.
The tests have been approved by USAID. Please click here to view the USAID List of Approved HIV/AIDS Rapid Test Kits.

Can Moreno Ocampo heal my wounds? home hiv test
More than 2 years have passed since Kenya’s disputed elections, when at least 1500 people were killed and more than half a million were displaced. The victims of the post election violence have not yet received justice. It’s even worse for the foreigners who were affected.

Holding the holy Quran in her right hand, Amina adjusts her veil. She appears like any other ordinary woman on the streets of Nairobi but Amina has had a recent past full of emotional turmoil.home hiv test, hiv self test, home hiv kit
“A gang of 12 men raped me in turns on January 15, 2008. I passed out. That’s a day I’ll never forget in my entire life,” Amina bitterly says adjusting her veil.
Amina was born and brought up in Mogadishu but moved to Kenya along with her husband and five months old son in 2005. When life became too hard to cope in Nairobi, they relocated to Narok, a small town 200 km west of Nairobi.home hiv test, hiv self test, home hiv kit
With the help of relatives living abroad, the young family started a business: money came in and life appeared rosy. Kenya became a safe heaven and they considered it a home away from home but just until Kenya’s disputed election results were announced. In front of her maid and three-year old son, Amina was gang raped.home hiv test, hiv self test, home hiv kit
“My husband was not around, he left just before the Kenyan election for Mogadishu to see the other two wives and children back there. After the incident I didn’t inform him about what happened. I was too scared; he might consider me as an infidel. He doesn’t know up to now”.
In July 2008, the family left for Mogadishu and settled there for a while. However, the constant violence in the Horn of Africa country saw them back to Nairobi, Kenya.home hiv test, hiv self test, home hiv kit
She went for an HIV test in October 2009 and tested positive and because of the high levels of stigma attached to HIV/AIDS in her community, this 26 year old has not revealed her status to anybody. According to her, the Kenyan elections turned her world upside down.
Medical authorities at Nairobi Women Hospital say more than 300 women were raped during the post-election violence.home hiv test, hiv self test, home hiv kit
When Radio Netherlands informed Amina about the presence of the Chief Prosecutor of The International Criminal Court (ICC), Luis Moreno Ocampo in Nairobi, Amina sighed in relief. But she was soon heartbroken to learn that Moreno Ocampo has categorically stated after his first press briefing on Saturday that he will deal only with the “big fish” – those who bear the most responsibility in fanning the violencehome hiv test, hiv self test, home hiv kit
“I am here in Kenya illegally because my country is unstable. If the International Court can not heal my wounds and bring those who raped me and other women to book, I have little hope that local courts in Kenya will deliver me justice”.home hiv test, hiv self test, home hiv kit
Mr Moreno Ocampo is viewed by many Kenyans as the only hope to see those responsible for the infamous post-election crisis in the country punished. Moreno Ocampo has assured the public that Kenya’s case will serve as an example. He further asked the government of Kenya to protect witnesses who agree to give evidence.
Meanwhile, Amina says she will rather go back to Mogadishu than stay in Kenya during the 2012 general election.home hiv test, hiv self test, home hiv kit
