Re: How Is A Hiv Test Is Done?
HIV or human immunodeficiency virus affects the immune system. When the HIV symptoms are not recognized and treatment is not started, this can lead to the development of AIDS which can ultimately cause death. Timely intervention can help a person infected with HIV lead a normal life. For this, it is important to get tested. There are three main types of HIV tests: antibody tests, antigen/antibody tests, and nucleic acid tests (NAT). The most common test is the ELISA for HIV antibody test. Since HIV is a viral infection, the pathogens are detected as foreign antigens by the immune system. This prompts the formation of HIV antibodies to counter the infection. The best time for getting tested with antibody screening is after 8 weeks of suspected infection.
