HIV Combo Rapid Test

A fourth-generation rapid HIV test delivering results within 30 minutes from a finger-prick blood sample. Detects both HIV-1/2 antibodies and the p24 antigen, providing reliable screening from three months after potential exposure.

The HIV Combo rapid test uses a fourth-generation point-of-care assay that detects both HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen from a small finger-prick blood sample. Unlike laboratory-based tests that require venous blood and overnight processing, this rapid format delivers a result within approximately 30 minutes while you wait at the clinic. Fourth-generation combination assays offer significantly better early detection than older antibody-only rapid tests by also capturing the p24 antigen, which appears in the blood before antibodies develop. The test is considered reliable from three months after potential exposure. For individuals seeking earlier detection — within two weeks of exposure — OneDayClinic offers a separate rapid HIV-1 RNA PCR test that directly detects viral genetic material. The rapid format is particularly valued by individuals who want same-day certainty without the anxiety of waiting for overnight laboratory results. A non-reactive result provides immediate reassurance, while a reactive result would be followed by confirmatory laboratory testing. The test includes a consultation with a physician or nurse to discuss the result and, if needed, outline next steps. At EUR 90, this is the most affordable rapid test in OneDayClinic's catalogue and among the most accessible private HIV screening options in Amsterdam.
