During the HIV I and II Test

Once the HIV I and II test is booked, a phlebotomist is assigned who will come to your house to take the blood sample. There are many time slots available, so you can choose one that is convenient. The phlebotomists collect the samples in a comfortable and pain free manner, using sterilised disposable gloves and needles. They carry a vein finder device that helps them locate the best vein in the forearm to draw blood from, reducing discomfort. The samples are then stored in barcoded vials, kept in cooling containers, then safely transported to the lab for testing.
