The HIV Early Detection Profile is specifically designed for individuals who suspect recent exposure to HIV and seek early detection. This package combines two highly sensitive tests, the P25 antigen test, and the HIV qualitative PCR test, to provide rapid and accurate detection of HIV infection during the early stages.
Our HIV Early Detection Profile offers individuals peace of mind and timely information about their HIV status following potential exposure. With state-of-the-art testing facilities and experienced healthcare professionals, we ensure accurate and reliable results. This package is ideal for individuals seeking early detection of HIV infection, allowing for prompt medical intervention and access to appropriate care and support services.
1. P25 Antigen Test: This test detects the presence of the p24 antigen, a protein component of HIV. The p24 antigen typically becomes detectable in the blood within 2 to 4 weeks after HIV infection, making it an important marker for early detection.
2. HIV Qualitative PCR Test: This test uses Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to detect the presence of HIV genetic material (RNA or DNA) in the blood. It can identify HIV infection at an early stage, typically within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure, before antibodies to the virus are detectable.
The HIV Early Detection Profile is designed to detect HIV infection in its early stages. It includes tests for HIV 1 & 2 antibodies, HIV P24 antigen, and HIV RNA qualitative PCR.
The HIV 1 & 2 Antibody test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to HIV infection. Positive results indicate exposure to the virus.
HIV P24 Antigen is a viral protein produced early in HIV infection. Detection of P24 antigen suggests recent exposure to the virus.
HIV RNA Qualitative PCR directly detects the genetic material of the virus, providing early confirmation of infection even before antibodies are produced.
The window period is the time between HIV exposure and when the tests can reliably detect the infection. Early detection tests aim to minimize this period for timely diagnosis.
Yes, a combination of HIV 1 & 2 antibodies, P24 antigen, and HIV RNA Qualitative PCR offers a comprehensive approach, increasing the accuracy of early HIV detection.
