You are probably HIV negative
It is a reliable test, however:if the result is negative, it is important to check that you are not within the window period (seroconversion *) and to consult a doctor.

Therefore, avoid any activity that could cause HIV transmission to others. Using condoms to protect yourself and your partners. You will need to repeat the self-test after 3 months have elapsed from the most recent risk of HIV exposure.
* Seroconversion refers to the length of time it takes for antibodies to HIV to develop in sufficient quality to make them detectable.

You are probably HIV positive

Principles and performance
HIV Self Test is an immunochromatographic assay for detecting antibodies in human blood that are produced after contracting HIV infection.
The check line that appears when you run the test is to confirm correct operation.

Sensitivity *
The sensitivity of the test was calculated at 100% with a confidence interval of 99.1% to 100%. All HIV-positive subjects included in the study achieved a correct result. No false negatives were observed **.

Specificity*
The specificity of the test was calculated at 99.8%, with a confidence interval from 99.5 to 100%. 0.2% of seronegative subjects obtained an incorrect result, i.e. 0.2% of the results were false positives ***.

Reliability
A feasibility study carried out on the execution of the test by people without specific skills showed that over 99.2% of the participants obtained an interpretable result and that over 98.1% correctly interpreted the result. Positive results were interpreted correctly in 100% of cases.

Interferences
By examining samples containing substances or which had some pathology no significant interferences were found that could potentially affect the test result.
* Studies of 503 people (sensitivity) and 2051 people (specificity) in the United States and the European Union.
** False Negative: Sample tested positive for the target marker but incorrectly classified as negative by the test.
*** False Positive: Sample found negative for the target marker but incorrectly classified as positive by the test.
