HIV 1 & 2 Antibodies - Automated
This test is aslo known as HIV Antigen/Antibody Test, HIV Duo Test, 4th Gen HIV Test, HIV p24 Antigen Test, HIV Screening Test.
The 4th-generation HIV-1/2 antibody/p24 antigen test is the premier, highly accurate, early-detection screening method, identifying infection weeks sooner than older tests. By detecting both antibodies and viral antigen, it enables prompt treatment to maintain health and reduce transmission. Testing is the only reliable way to diagnose HIV, commonly spread through sex or sharing needles.
The test includes the detection of two key markers of HIV infection, the HIV-1 and HIV-2. These antibodies typically develop within a few weeks to months after infection. The test can identify both types of HIV, which is crucial since HIV-2 is less common but still significant.
