HIV 1 - RNA test; reliable testing possible after 2 weeks

To test for HIV-1 you need a blood test. For the HIV-RNA test, we need whole blood. We'll send you a lab form and special tubes so that you can have blood taken at a collection center near you.

It is then sent directly to our ISO-certified laboratory at Dr. Stein in Maastricht, guaranteeing quality and reliability of results. Read more about the reliability of Soapoli-online tests.

Have you had unprotected sex and want to get tested? If you don't want to wait until a regular HIV test can be done, we offer you the HIV-RNA test. You can take it just 15 days after possible exposure to HIV. The sensitivity is >95% (the percentage of correct positive results among people who have the virus) and the specificity is 100% (the percentage of correct negative test results among people who do not have the virus).
You can order the test whenever you want and schedule your appointment for after the window period of 15 days.
