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

What's Included
Preparation Required
No fasting required. Continue eating your normal diet for at least 2–4 weeks before testing — avoiding suspected trigger foods can cause false negatives. Inform the clinic of any antihistamines or immunosuppressants you're taking, as these can affect results.
Biomarkers Tested
3Detects antibodies to HIV-1, the most common strain worldwide.
Detects antibodies to HIV-2, predominantly found in West Africa.
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a protein associated with allergic reactions that is normally found in very small amounts in the blood. IgE functions as part of the body's immune system (its defence against 'intruders').
