Check by yourself. Check privately. Check on the go.
The name is the instruction. CheckNOW is made by Abbott and distributed in Nigeria by ISN
Medical. You buy it like any other item at the counter, and the rest is yours.
Check by yourself
You run the test and you read the result. Start to finish, the process is yours.
Check privately
Nobody has to know you tested unless you decide to tell them.
Check on the go
The kit fits into your day instead of asking you to build a day around it.
How it works
01
Pick up a kit
From a partner pharmacy, from Chowdeck, or from the ISN Medical online store. No prescription, and nobody asks you why.
02
Test at home
Follow the leaflet in the box. A small finger prick, a few drops, and then you wait. [CONFIRM STEP-BY-STEP WORDING WITH ABBOTT IFU]
03
Read it in 15 minutes
The leaflet shows you exactly what you are looking at. You are the only person who sees it.
Three ways to get one
[₦ PRICE] per kit. Same kit, whichever way you choose.
At a pharmacy
Walk in, pay, walk out. [20] partner pharmacies across four cities, and more joining every month.
A self-test is a screening test. It tells you whether you need to take a next step, and what
that step is.
Non-reactive
No HIV antibodies were found. If there was a possible exposure in the last [WINDOW PERIOD], the test may be too early to pick it up — test again after [WINDOW PERIOD] to be sure.
Reactive
This is not a diagnosis. It means you need a confirmatory test at a clinic or laboratory. That step is routine, it is free at most public centres, and starting treatment early means a long, ordinary life.
Want to talk to someone first? [NACA / STATE HELPLINE NUMBER] is free and confidential.
One test tells you about one moment. Many people check every three months. Leave a number or an email and we will send a single reminder — nothing in the message mentions HIV or CheckNOW.
Phone number or email
Optional. You do not need this to buy a kit.
Questions people actually ask
How accurate is it?
[ACCURACY / SENSITIVITY & SPECIFICITY WORDING — to be signed off with Abbott and ISN regulatory before publishing.]
Will anyone know I bought it?
No. You buy it at the counter like any other item, and delivery arrives in plain packaging. There is no register and no record tied to your name.
Does it hurt?
It is a small finger prick, the same as a blood sugar check. It is over in a second.
What if I tested too soon after an exposure?
Tests need time before they can detect HIV. If the possible exposure was within [WINDOW PERIOD], test again afterwards, and speak to a health worker if you are worried in the meantime.
My result is reactive. What now?
Get a confirmatory test at a clinic or laboratory. It is a normal next step, not a verdict, and treatment today means a normal life span.
Is there an age limit?
[AGE POLICY — confirm the Nigerian self-testing age guidance with ISN before publishing.]
Don’t wait for a scare to check.
Check by yourself. Check privately. Check on the go.
