The Chembio SURE CHECK® HIV 1/2 Assay is a single-use immunochromatographic test for the detection of antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Types 1 (HIV-1) and Type 2 (HIV-2) in fingerstick whole blood, venous whole blood, and serum or plasma specimens. The Chembio SURE CHECK® HIV 1/2 Assay is intended for use as a point-of-care test to aid in the diagnosis of infection with HIV-1 and HIV-2. This test is suitable for use in multi-test algorithms designed for the statistical validation of rapid HIV test results. When multiple rapid HIV tests are available, this test should be used in appropriate multi-test algorithms. Each kit contains 25 individually pouched tests each containing 1 Sampler with a Test Strip inside, 1 Buffer Vial attached to the Sampler (~350μL), 1 Sterile Safety Lancet, 1 Bandage, 1 Desiccant Packet; 25 Disposable Test Stands; 1 Product Insert; 25 Copies of Subject Information Notice.

This test is commonly used in the laboratory or in point-of-care analyses and may be available [non-prescription] over-the-counter (OTC) for self-testing by a layperson in the home or similar environment.
