The world's easiest HIV Test. No questions. No labs. No waiting.
BioSURE HIV Self Test is very simple to perform and requires just a tiny drop of blood.
The BioSURE HIV Self Test was the first approved CE marked product and is the best selling HIV self test in the UK.
You can test wherever and and whenever is most convenient for you and get your easy to read result in just 15 minutes.
HIV is a treatable condition, once you know your status. With correct and early treatment you can protect your own and your partners health.
Your BioSURE Self test is extremely accurate, however if you get a positive test result you must get your result confirmed by a healthcare professional.
