HIV Test Overview

The purpose of HIV tests is to determine the presence of an HIV infection using blood, oral fluid, or urine samples. HIV tests can be used as a routine screening test, as a diagnostic test after possible exposure to HIV, or in patients with symptoms of an HIV infection.

HIV infection might initially cause no symptoms or cause flu-like symptoms which resolve after a week or two. The only way to evaluate whether a person has been infected is through HIV testing.

If HIV is not detected early and treated, it might become a simmering infection that causes symptoms for a decade or more. If the infection is not treated properly, eventually symptoms of AIDS emerge and begin to progressively worsen. Over a period of time and without treatment, HIV destroys the immune system and leaves a person’s body vulnerable to debilitating infections. 

Reasons to Take HIV Test

HIV Test is recommended to confirm HIV 1 and HIV 2 antibodies. To differentiate between the HIV 1 and HIV 2 antibodies in specimens of serum that show reactive results with 3rd and 4th generation HIV serologic assays. Women planning a pregnancy or those that are already pregnant are advised to require this test.

Parameters considered during HIV 1 and 2 Test

When selecting an HIV/AIDS testing near you, it's crucial to have a well-defined understanding of the testing goals. These are three types of tests done:

1. Antibody Tests: There are 2 types of HIV: HIV 1 and HIV 2. The most prevalent form of HIV is HIV 1, which spreads more readily than HIV 2. You can find out if you have HIV 1 or HIV 2 antibodies in your blood, or both, with the antibody tests.

2. Antigen/Antibody Tests: Detect antibodies against HIV as well as HIV antigens such as p24.

3. Nucleic Acid Tests (NATs): Detect the HIV DNA and the amount of virus (viral load) in the blood.

Based on the type of the test, either HIV antigen, antibody or both or HIV DNA will be assessed for in the tests. Apart from these, no other parameters are checked for in the respective tests.
