&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HIV Self-Test Kit: Quick, Easy, and Reliable HIV Testing at Home&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;The HIV Self-Test Kit is a revolutionary at-home HIV test that provides accurate results in just 15 minutes. Designed for ease and privacy, this blood-based test is ideal for untrained users looking for a fast and reliable way to check their HIV status from the comfort of their own homes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;3rd-generation HIV self-test kit is suitable for people with potential exposure after 90 days.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the HIV Window Period and Test Accuracy?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;The window period is the time between when a person is exposed to a virus, like HIV, and when a test can accurately detect it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;During this period, the body has not yet produced enough antibodies (or antigens, depending on the test type) for the virus to be detectable, even though the person might be infected and potentially able to transmit the virus to others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;For HIV specifically:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3rd-Generation HIV Tests&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; These detect HIV antibodies only. The window period for these tests is typically after 90 days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4th-Generation HIV Tests&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/span&gt; These detect HIV antibodies and antigens, allowing for a shorter window, generally about 28 days. (&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/hiv-testing&quot;&gt;4th Generation HIV test is available in our clinics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;During the window period, a test might give a&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;false-negative result&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; because there isn&amp;rsquo;t enough of the virus, antibodies, or antigens in the blood to be detected. Testing again after the window period is essential for a reliable result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Choose the HIV Self-Test Kit?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Easy, clear instructions make it user-friendly for those without medical experience and deliver accurate results in minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Easy-to-Read Results&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;Clear visual indicators make the results easy to interpret, so users know their status immediately.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Safe and Efficient Blood Collection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;The kit includes a built-in, retractable lancet to safely collect the amount of blood needed (10&amp;mu;l), ensuring accurate results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;The lancet retracts automatically after use, making disposal safe and reducing the risk of injury.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Benefits of the HIV Self-Test Kit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is HIV, and How is it Different from AIDS?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is HIV?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) attacks the immune system, weakening the body&amp;rsquo;s ability to fight infections. Over time, untreated HIV reduces immune function, increasing vulnerability to various illnesses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is AIDS?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-preserver-spaces=&quot;true&quot;&gt;AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is the final stage of HIV infection, marked by severe health complications that occur if HIV is left untreated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
