Comprehensive HIV Screening with the HIV p24 Antigen/Antibody Test
Our HIV p24 Antigen/Antibody Test offers thorough screening for HIV, a sexually transmitted virus leading to AIDS if untreated. It's essential to know your HIV status, especially if you're sexually active, to prevent spreading the infection.
Why HIV Testing Matters:
- HIV weakens the immune system by attacking cells that fight infection.
- There is no cure, but early detection allows for effective treatment to control the virus.
- Most people initially show no symptoms, but flu-like symptoms may appear in the early stages.
Who Should Get Tested?
- Individuals aged 65 years or younger.
- Those exposed or at risk of exposure to HIV.
- Annual testing is recommended for certain high-risk groups, including:
- Men who have sex with men.
- Individuals with new sex partners since their last test.
- People who have had sex with an HIV-positive person.
- Those who use or have used needles for drug injection.
- Individuals who have exchanged sex for drugs or money.
- Anyone who has had another STD since their last test.
- People with hepatitis or tuberculosis (TB).
- Pregnant individuals.
About the Test:
- Screening and Confirmation: Screens for HIV-1 and HIV-2. Positive screens are sent for confirmatory testing.
- Procedure: A small blood sample is needed. Results are usually available in 1-2 days.
Understanding Your Results:
- Consult with healthcare professionals for clear interpretation of results.
- If you have symptoms or believe you've been exposed recently, retesting may be necessary.
- Positive results are reported where legally required and are confidential.
