Test illustration Reading the results of the HIV rapid test Positive: A red bar will appear within both the Control window and the Patient window on the test strip. Any visible red bar in the Patient window must be regarded as positive. The result is positive even if the patient bar appears lighter or darker than the control bar. Negative: A red bar will appear within the Control window and but no red bar is seen in the Patient window. Invalid: If no red bar appears in the Control window, even if a red bar is visible in the Patient window. The result is invalid and the test must be repeated. The interpretation of the HIV rapid test A positive test indicates that a person has either HIV antigen or HIV antibodies. Therefore the person is infected with HIV. A negative test indicates that a person does not have HIV antigen or antibodies against HIV. Therefore the person is not infected with HIV, unless infected very recently and the HIV antigen and antibodies have not appeared yet.
