Rapid tests involve a 3 month window. Recommend to take 4 tests during 3 months.
HIV blood test is the accurate way to detect HIV antibodies in the blood. Its sensitivity and specificity of >99% provide reliable and accurate results. The test is designed to ensure accuracy and detect any potential risk of infection.
1. a few drop of blood needed
2. Can be used to detect HIV 1 and HIV 2
3. CE approved
How to use:
1. Clean the tip of your finger with an alcohol pad
2. Get your finger prick by the lancet and squeeze the end of your fingertip.
3. Wipe away the first drop of blood, remember to collect the sample from the second drop
4. Gently massage your finger to produce drops and use the tube to collect the sample
5. Place one drop of blood into the cassette and add with 1-2 drops of diluent
6. Wait for 15 minutes to get the result.
NOTES:
Rapid tests involve a 3 month window. This means the results tells you your HIV status three months ago. A positive result from a rapid test always needs to be confirmed by a different laboratory test. If you have had other recent risks, a negative result needs to be confirmed in three months. Recommend to take 4 tests during 3 months.
If your test result is negative, get tested again after the window period to be sure. If your test result is negative again, and you have had no possible HIV exposure during the window period, then you do not have HIV.
Q&A
How soon can hiv be detected by a blood test?
The time it takes to detect HIV through a blood test depends on the type of test used and the individual's stage of infection. Here's a breakdown:
1. Nucleic Acid Test (NAT)
-
Detection Time: 10 to 33 days after exposure
-
What It Does: Detects the virus itself (HIV RNA) in the blood. This test is very sensitive and can identify HIV in its earliest stages.
2. Antigen/Antibody Test
-
Detection Time: 18 to 45 days after exposure (lab tests); 18 to 90 days for rapid tests
-
What It Does: Detects both HIV antigens (specifically p24, a protein of the virus) and antibodies produced by the immune system. This is the most commonly used test.
Factors Influencing Detection
-
Test Timing: Testing too soon after exposure may result in a false-negative result due to the "window period."
-
Type of Test Used: Advanced tests like NAT can detect HIV earlier than antibody-only tests.
For the most accurate results, consult a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate time and type of test based on the potential exposure.
