The test is intended for use by trained personnel in medical facilities, clinical laboratories, emergency care situations, and physicians’ offices as a screening assay capable of providing test results in as little as 60 seconds. The assay is packaged as a kit containing INSTI® Membrane Units, Sample Diluent, Color Developer and Clarifying Solution, and is available in point-of-care use packaging.

The program is intended to assist pharmacists with integrating a sustainable HIV screening service into a busy community pharmacy practice. The program will review the INSTI® HIV point of care test and the current evidence that supports the value of implementation. Strategies to overcome common barriers and workflow issues will also be discussed.
This is a training video to show the application of the INSTI HIV Antibody Test.
