OraSure Test

The OraSure test enables the collection of an oral fluid sample for use with a lab-based screening test that delivers accurate results for antibodies to HIV-1. Results are received in three days and can be collected in person at FAHASS. Positive screening tests are followed by an OraSure HIV-1 Western Blot.

OraQuick ADVANCE Test

The OraQuick ADVANCEHIV-1/2 Antibody Test (OraQuick) is a screening test for HIV-1 and HIV-2. It also detects antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 using an oral fluids sample. Test results are provided in twenty minutes. As with all HIV screening tests, a reactive test result needs to be confirmed by an additional, Western Blot confirmatory test.
