Mpox Test from GetTested

Rapid and Reliable Detection of Mpox Virus

GetTested's Mpox Test provides a quick and easy way to detect the presence of Mpox virus antigen in the body. This rapid test is designed to identify the Mpox virus A29L antigen through a sample taken from a skin lesion exudate or throat swab. The test delivers reliable results within 15 minutes, making it a valuable tool when infection is suspected.

What is Mpox?

Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a zoonotic disease that spreads from animals to humans but can also be transmitted between humans. The disease typically has an incubation period of 5–21 days and begins with symptoms such as fever, headache, and muscle aches, followed by a rash that spreads across the body. Symptoms are usually self-limiting, but in some cases, they can be severe and require medical attention.

How Does the Mpox Test Work?

GetTested's Mpox Test uses a specific enzyme-based reaction to detect the Mpox virus antigen. The test is performed by applying a sample from a skin lesion exudate or throat swab to the test cassette. If the antigen is present, it reacts with the components of the test, causing a color change in the test area. A colored line indicates a positive result, while the absence of a line indicates a negative result.

Fast and Accurate Results

Within 15 minutes, you’ll receive a clear result that helps determine whether the Mpox virus antigen is present in the body. The test is carefully designed to minimize the risk of inaccurate results and serves as a reliable tool for quick diagnosis.
