VIVAnews - Apabila Anda malu melakukan tes HIV, kini ada solusinya agar pengujian bisa lebih pribadi. Perangkat tes OraQuick mengecek air liur dengan alat yang dimasukkan dalam mulut untuk mengetes HIV. Hasilnya bisa diketahui hanya dalam 20 hingga 40 menit. Kemudahan ini seperti alat pengetes kehamilan yang bisa dilakukan sendiri di rumah.

Pemerintah Amerika Serikat memperkirakan 1,2 juta orang di AS positif terkena HIV. Tapi, ada 20 persen orang yang tidak mengetahuinya.

Quote:

Badan Administrasi Makanan dan Obat-obatan AS (FDA) mengatakan mereka berharap alat ini dapat menjangkau orang yang tidak melakukan tes. Alat ini direncanakan akan dijual di 30.000 toko obat, toko peralatan rumah tangga, dan online.

Quote:

Produsennya, OraSure belum mengatakan harga jual alat ini. Tapi, mereka mengatakan harganya akan kurang dari US$60 (Rp580 ribuan).

Quote:

"Kami berharap semua toko ritel besar akan menjual produk ini," ujar Pemimpin Eksekutif, Douglas Michels seperti dilansir dari BBC.

Quote:

Michels menambahkan, perusahaannya merencanakan upaya besar-besaran untuk memasarkan alat tes ini.

Quote:

Perangkat tes HIV ini akan dijual di AS hanya dalam hitungan bulan. Pemerintah sudah menyetujui penjualannya.
Persetujuan pemerintah menuai pujian dari aktivis HIV/AIDS.

Quote:

"Alat tes ini akan memungkinkan semua orang memberdayakan dirinya untuk mau mengetahui status HIV kapan saja, bagaimana, dan dengan siapa saja yang mereka mau," ujar pendiri Who's Positive, Tom Donohue.

Quote:

FDA memberikan peringatan dalam pengumumannya. Akurasi alat ini tidak dijamin 100 persen. Pihak FDA menekankan perlu tes tambahan yang dilakukan pihak medis profesional untuk mengonfirmasi hasilnya. (eh)

Spoiler for Cara penggunaan Eng. Ver.:

Set the re-usable tans on a flat, level surface

Have the subject grasp the test device and remove it from the foil pouch without making contact with the collection pad. Check to see if desiccant pack is present. If no desiccant is present, discard the unit.
Instruct the subject to swab completely around the outer gums with the test device, by gently wiping the porous flat pad completely across the upper and lower gums, one time around.
When the subject has finished swabbing the gums, have the subject insert the pad end of the test device al the way down the vial.
Be sure the results window faces forward so that it can be read.
Start the timer, or note the time.
Read test results in 20-40 minutes. Record the test result seen in the result window (refer to Interpretation of Results and Limitations of the procedure) then dispose of the device and vial in a bio-hazardous waste container.

QUALITY CONTROL

A control lone in the C area of the result area indicates a valid result. A valid result indicates that a suitable sample was collected and that the test functioned properly. The control line will appear on all valid tests, whether or nor the result is negative.

Kit Control: Re-agents are available separately (Cat No. RBL 308-C). These are used to verify adequate test performance. Kit controls should be run once per shift by the test administrator, and whenever changing to a different lot of tests. Refer to the kit control product insert when using these re-agents.

What does the lines on the OraQuick test indicators mean?

NON REACTIVE RESULTS- only the control line appears
If a single line appears on the test strip in the area adjacent to the triangle labelled C, the result is non reactive. This suggests the absence of anti HIV antibodies in the specimen.

Note: Using the Negative Kit Control gives thus result (see insert for OraQuick HIV 1/2 Kit Controls)

REACTIVE RESULTS two lines appear
If two lines appear on the test strip, adjacent to the triangles labelled T and C triangles respectively, the result is considered to be reactive. This suggests the presence of anti HIV antibodies in the specimen. One of the lines may be darker than the other.

Note: Using the HIV-1 Kit Control or HIV-2 Kit control results in a dark line adjacent to the triangle marked C and a faint line adjacent to the triangle marked T.
INVALID- No line present in the C area of window.

If there is no line in the area marked C, the result is invalid. An invalid test should be repeated with a new test device. If the invalid test was obtained with an oral fluid specimen, use the blood test procedure for repeat testing.
