A mail-in HIV test is an antigen/antibody test that includes supplies to collect a small sample of blood from a finger stick. You or your health care provider can order the test online and send the sample to a lab for testing. If your provider orders the test, they will contact you with the test results.
Mail-in HIV tests are not approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. However, under the Clinical Laboratory and Improvement Amendments of 1988, labs that offer this service are required to establish and verify the test’s accuracy.
