Prima Home - HIV 1/2 Rapid Self-Test - Brochure

Rapid self-test for the qualitative detection of antibodies against human immunodeficiency virus 1 and 2 (HIV1/HIV2) in whole blood. Human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, is a pathogen that attacks and suppresses the immune system by specifically affecting white blood cells. The virus can be transmitted (a) sexually – through unprotected sex, (b) with blood – for example through the exchange of syringes – and (c) vertically – from mother to child during pregnancy, at birth and, more rarely, through breastfeeding.
