Unique Flow-through Technology
The test uses simple flow-through technology to detect HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies using a drop of human fingerstick blood. The test is intended for use by untrained lay users as a self-test to aid in the diagnosis of HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection using a small drop (50μL) of blood obtained through fingerstick collection procedures.
Intended Use
The INSTI HIV Self Test is a single use in vitro self-test for the detection of antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) and Type 2 (HIV-2) in wholeblood. The test is intended for use as a self-test by users 18 years or older.
How early can this test detect HIV?
Based on bioLytical's studies, INSTI demonstrates third generation performance and detects HIV antibodies of the IgM and IgG classes. IgM antibodies are the earliest antibodies that the body produces after an HIV infection and can be detectable within 21-22 days. Depending on how quickly a person’s immune system generates HIV antibodies after exposure, it could still take up to 3 months to get a positive result. If you think you have been exposed to HIV within the last 3 months, and your results are negative, you will need to test again after at least 3 months have passed since your exposure. The time from HIV exposure to when a test can correctly give a positive result is referred to as the ‘window period'.

- Reviewed in Canada on February 21, 2025Verified PurchaseUnfortunately when the product arrived it was missing one of the liquids to display the results. When I made them aware, they resent a test for me and I followed all the instructions but no results displayed and so the test was inconclusive. Waste of money sadly.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 2, 2024Verified PurchaseThe test is easy to conduct as the instructions are super clear. But I think you may also need to prepare some tissue after collecting your blood... It was really difficult to apply the bandage when your finger just kept bleeding and bleeding... And it hurt af. Anyway, I'm happy with the result! And remember to create one LARGE drop of blood to make sure the test will be valid!

- Reviewed in Canada on April 4, 2024Verified PurchaseEasy to follow instructions, accurate results and quick !
- Reviewed in Canada on September 7, 2022I have been tested I believe during my pregnancies and the chances of me getting HIV since are relatively low.
I did the test, which was very simple, and I ended up with it looking like it was positive, which freaked me out since they say in the instructions that any amount of blue means positive. All searches I did said the same. I contacted the company and sent the pictures and was so anxious. They responded within 24 hours to tell me that since the circle was not filled in that it was not positive. What a relief! So if this happens, email with your pics and ask for help. They were so nice.
Since then I have done another kit and was even more careful with the instructions and it came back clearly negative.
Very easy and fast kit. Make sure to take your time with the instructions.
4.0 out of 5 starsI have been tested I believe during my pregnancies and the chances of me getting HIV since are relatively low.I had what seems to be a false positive. I did a retest and it was negative.
