Early-window HIV, Hep B and Hep C screen, priced high
A three-marker blood screen for HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, designed to give results from as early as 10 days after a potential exposure by testing for the viruses directly rather than only antibodies. Aimed at people concerned about a high-risk encounter or needle exposure.
