Test Kits (Malaria, HIV, Dengue) Point-of-care diagnostics

** What They Are**

Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) kits are user-friendly, point-of-care tools that enable fast detection of specific infections—such as malaria, HIV, and dengue—without requiring advanced lab equipment. These tests rely on lateral flow immuno-chromatography or antigen/antibody detection methods. 

** Malaria RDTs**

These detect antigens of Plasmodium parasites (often P. falciparum or pan-species). They are especially useful in remote or low-resource settings where microscopy isn’t available. Results appear via visible test lines within 10–20 minutes.

** HIV Rapid Test Kits**

Designed to detect antibodies or antigens associated with HIV infection—some even allow oral fluid testing (e.g., OraQuick). Ideal for early screening and community-level testing due to their ease of use and quick turnaround. 

** Dengue Rapid Tests**

Often detect NS1 antigen (useful for early-stage detection) or IgM/IgG antibodies. These combo tests enable quick diagnosis during acute febrile episodes. 

** Key Benefits of RDT Kits**

•Rapid results: Typically within 10–20 minutes

•Field-friendly: No specialized equipment needed

•Cost-effective: Especially valuable in low-resource or high-volume settings

•Supports early disease management: Facilitates timely treatment or referral
