HIV Antibodies 1 & 2 with P24 Antigen Blood Test by OneDayTests

Comprehensive HIV blood test detecting antibodies and p24 antigen for early virus detection.

Additional Information

This fourth-generation HIV test detects both HIV antibodies (HIV 1 and HIV 2) and the p24 antigen. This dual detection increases sensitivity, enabling earlier diagnosis than previous tests. The antibody test checks for the immune response to HIV infection, while the p24 antigen test detects a viral protein, often detectable before antibodies appear. A negative result within the 90-day window period may require a follow-up test. This test is crucial for early HIV detection and management.
