How do you differentiate the test kit for HIV and syphilis. By colour?

I went to AFA and tested for HIV only. I was just wondering if they somehow took the wrong test kit...

How come you don't believe you are HIV-?

I do believe and Im glad to be negative..

Last time I took both test and saw the HIV and syphilis test kit looks identical in term of size and shape to me.

Now I took only the HIV test and was just thinking (just a scenario) on my way back home what if they took the wrong test kit and Im been tested on syphilis instead of HIV.

So how is the test kit differ from each other?

It differs by color.

Green is for HIV, Purple is for syphilis. Search google for abott determine test

A single red line means Negative

Two red lines mean Positive

Confirmed. That was what the volunteers told me.

Bro AfA_hmor, can you confirm if the annonymous test by AFA detects both HIV-1 and HIV-2 subtypes?

AfA_hmor · #**477** 04-03-2009, 07:49 PM

Hi All,

I have gone to 3 Step Anonymous HIV Test at Robertson Walk to do a HIV 1/2 test. quite fast 20mins. i usually go there 2x monthly to do a check. quite cheap as well.

anyway, was also told that there's a HIV test that he is doing. dont' need 3months. anyway, was in a rush so i left will ask more when i visit him next week.

take care bros.

You realise he's using the same test kit that's being used at many other test sites requiring 3 months window period right?
Curious understand the fella's explaination
