\n \nThe self-tests are designed to be very sensitive and therefore can \u201coverreact\u201d occasionally. If this happens, they display a reactive result, even though there is no infection present. Therefore a self-test must be confirmed by an additional test conducted by a laboratory. This confirmatory test can be done by doctors, in centers for sexual health, directly in a laboratory or in a test project. Only if this test comes back positive as well, you can be certain about an HIV infection. \n \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n
