What is a 'rapid HIV test'?This document deals with the practical and ethical implications of rapid Point of Care (POC) HIV tests using rapid test devices (RTDs). These devices deliver results within about 20 min of taking the specimen, so the results are available within a single consultation.RTDs are typically capillary flow tests for use on whole blood (e.g. finger-prick), plasma or oral fluid. They detect HIV antibodies against HIV 1 and 2 antigens produced by oligopeptide synthesis or recombinant DNA technology. They are easily read by users, and require no specialized equipment. Not all RTDs are usable at the POC (e.g. they require serum separation, but still give results in a few minutes). 'Rapid' tests are not suitable for screening large number of people.
