HIV 1+2 Antigen/Antibody Test

A fourth-generation HIV 1+2 antigen/antibody combination test, offered twice weekly (Monday and Thursday) at PKBH Olomouc with results available the same afternoon. The 440 Kč price covers everything — draw, separation, and the test.

HIV testing is a sensitive health decision, and PKBH Olomouc makes it straightforward: a published all-inclusive price, a predictable twice-weekly schedule, and same-afternoon results with a formal certificate in your language of choice. **The test:** A fourth-generation HIV 1+2 Ag/Ab combination test that simultaneously detects: - **HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies** — immune proteins produced by the body after HIV infection, detectable from approximately 4 weeks post-exposure. - **HIV p24 antigen** — a viral protein detectable from as early as 10–14 days post-exposure, before antibodies develop. The simultaneous detection of both antibody and antigen shortens the diagnostic window period compared with third-generation antibody-only tests. This assay is classified as a 4th generation (Ag/Ab combo) test and meets the current WHO and ECDC recommendations for HIV screening. The combination format used at PKBH (priced at 359 Kč for the assay, with draw + separation bringing the all-inclusive self-pay total to 440 Kč) aligns with the standard used in Czech public health screening programmes. **Testing schedule and results timeline:** Blood is accepted on Monday and Thursday mornings during the regular draw hours (07:00 onward). Processed results are available the same afternoon. Positive or equivocal results are confirmed by a secondary confirmatory test (Western blot or immunoblot) — PKBH initiates this step and contacts the patient directly under the STATIM critical-value protocol. **Certificate:** A signed result certificate can be issued in Czech, English, or Russian — accepted for: - Visa applications (multiple countries including UAE, Saudi Arabia, and others requiring HIV-negative documentation) - Employment medicals (healthcare, military, international contracts) - Personal records and insurance documentation **Confidentiality:** All testing is conducted under standard patient confidentiality rules applicable to all Czech healthcare providers. **Who benefits:** Anyone seeking routine sexual health screening, couples planning pregnancy, individuals after potential exposure risk, travellers requiring documented proof of HIV status, and people applying for jobs or visas requiring HIV testing. **Preparation:** No fasting required. No appointment needed — walk in on Monday or Thursday morning from 07:00 at the PKBH Olomouc main site (tř. Svobody 32). Bring a photo ID for the certificate.
