The StrepAim is a rapid test that detects the presence of group A streptococcal antigen in throat swabs. A positive result indicates that strep throat or another strep A infection is likely present.
Here are some steps for using the StrepAim test:
- Add four drops of Reagent A and four drops of Reagent B to the extraction tube.
- Shake the tube gently to mix the solution.
- Insert the swab into the tube.
- Rotate the swab to extract the specimen.
- Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the swab.
- Insert the test strip into the tube of extracted solution.
- Read the result after five minutes.
If the test is positive, a healthcare provider will usually prescribe antibiotics. It's important to take all the antibiotics as prescribed, even if you start to feel better after a day or two. Stopping early can lead to serious complications
