A drug company has been given approval by the Food and Drug Administration to market an HIV test that provides results in 60 seconds.

BioLytical Laboratories’ test will allow results in one minute; most rapid tests take about 15 to 30 minutes. 

“We believe the speed, accuracy, and unique technology of our 60-second HIV test will make the testing and early treatment of HIV/AIDS more efficient in all patient settings, including hospital emergency rooms and public health clinics,” said bioLytical Laboratories president Philip Bligh in a press release. “Additionally, our high-volume, automated manufacturing capability makes INSTI one of the most cost-effective solutions available for providers of HIV rapid testing.”
