OraQuick—the OraSure Technologies
rapid-results oral swab HIV test—is now available for direct in-home use at
more than 30,000 retailers nationwide, including CVS and Walgreens, as well as
on the company’s website.
“For the first time ever,
individuals now have access to an in-home rapid oral HIV test-the same test
healthcare professionals have used and trusted for years—that will empower them
to learn their HIV status in the comfort and privacy of their own home,”
announced Douglas A. Michels, OraSure’s president and CEO. The company also
offers consumers round-the-clock comprehensive web and live support and
referral services.
Michels added that the company hopes
to make the test globally available in the next two to three years and hopes to
launch a similar test for hepatitis C in the near future.
