Early indication of HIV infection - 28 days post exposure
3 biomarkers as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
This comprehensive HIV test is over 99.5% accurate, 4 weeks following exposure. It seeks both Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) 1 and 2, as well as the early marker - the p24 Antigen.
This test looks for the presence of both HIV 1 and HIV 2 antibodies, and also for antibodies to a part of the virus particle known as p24. This virus protein is detectable in the blood before antibodies are made to the HIV particle, meaning it allows for earlier detection of HIV if it is present. Once established, the p24 antibodies diminish - so the p24 test a test for early diagnosis, whereas HIV antibodies when present suggest an established infection with HIV.
This test is NOT available as a finger prick BUT is available as a vacutainer sample collection option.
