    The document provides instructions for testing a sample for HIV reactivity using three rapid HIV diagnostic tests (rHIVda T1, T2, T3). If a sample is reactive on the first test, a second test is performed. If non-reactive on the second, a third test is done after 2-6 weeks. If reactive on any of the three tests, the result is considered HIV positive. If always non-reactive, the result is considered inconclusive and further testing is required.
