About this test
By detecting the p24 antigen as well as antibodies, this shortens the window period to around two to three weeks. A reactive screen is always confirmed on a second sample before any result is given. Testing is confidential.
What it measures
- HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies
- HIV p24 antigen
A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
