Does anyone know about this test? Is it reliable? How do you get results… by calling in and talking to someone at anytime?

Depends on the name of the test and who made it. I use a test in the hospital that is extremely reliable as an ANTIBODY test -meaning that it takes awhile after exposure before the person makes the antibody – sometimes weeks. There has been talk about making this kit into an over-the-counter test. It is made by Orasure. I am not familiar with other brands- but they might be good too. It is vital to understand the limitations of such a test! Just because you are negative today, doesn’t mean that you didn’t catch the virus yesterday.

We all need water for various purposes – for drinking, bathing, washing, irrigation etc. Amongst all, the drinking water should be safe and contamination free for a healthy living. There are various types of water tests which apply stringent criteria to ensure microbial, mineral and chemical safety of drinking water.

A microbial or bacteriological test indicates presence of any pathogenic or disease-causing bacteria in the drinking water. The EPA has designated testing of coliform bacteria as a standard for determination of safety of using water as these bacteria are simple to identify and are much abundant.

The drinking water test kit is made to check for presence of various coliform bacteria & nitrates. Such kits are quite accurate as all testing material – including sampling bottles are often sterilized to prevent external contamination of samples. A mineral analysis on the other hand provides an estimate of the extent of mineral impurities in the water.

Many industrial-waste chemicals can also contaminate a water supply and impair its usability and/or create a health hazard, for instance, petroleum products, industrial chemicals, agricultural pesticides, heavy metals like lead so and so forth. So, water must be checked periodically.You can order a home test kit here:

HIV or the human immunodeficiency virus is a virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is a retrovirus that replicates in and handicaps the body’s immune defense by infecting helper T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. HIV is transmitted through direct contact with infected mucous membrane or any of the body fluids, like blood, seminal and vaginal fluids, and also through breast feeding.

AIDS itself is not a disease; it is a condition that leads to myriad opportunistic diseases like microbial and viral infections in almost all organ systems including gastrointestinal, respiratory, neurological and cardio-vascular systems and certain forms of tumors that develop due to weakening of immune system. Presence of HIV can be detected by standard ELISA that tests for anti-HIV antibodies (Type IgG and IgM) and the HIV p24 antigen. Nowadays PCR based HIV detection tests are also conducted for preliminary analysis.

Most of the government hospitals and dispensaries offer free ELISA checks for AIDS in many developing countries. Many private diagnostic labs also offer services for AIDS detection and post-detection care.
