The testing procedure used by Victoria is the OraQuick In-Home HIV Test. This is an antibody screening test that uses an oral fluid sample and provides results within 20 minutes. The CD4 T-cell count and Home Access HIV-1 Test System are other types of HIV tests, but they require a blood sample and laboratory analysis, which is not what Victoria did.
