HIV 1&2 4th Gen Blood Test

Duration: 15 mins

Results: 24 to 48 hours

This test screens for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), specifically HIV-1 and HIV-2. The 4th generation HIV test detects both HIV antibodies and the HIV p24 antigen, allowing for earlier detection of the virus, typically within 2-4 weeks of exposure. The RFLX confirmatory is a reflexive confirmatory test performed if the initial screening result is positive. This typically involves a more specific test, such as Western Blot or HIV RNA PCR, to confirm the presence of the virus.
