HIV I And II Test In Faridabad - Price & Details

As HIV does not always produce any noticeable symptoms for a long time, having no symptoms even after possible exposure does not rule out the infection. Also, even in the absence of symptoms, you may still carry the risk of passing the virus to others. Getting tested for HIV can help you determine your HIV status and protect your and your partner’s health. The HIV-I and HIV-II tests help detect HIV infection from two different types of HIV through a single assessment. You can now get tested and view your results from home through PharmEasy test services, including home sample collection and digital report access.

Unlike other common viral infections, HIV does not spread through the air droplets, touching, or sharing food. It can spread via contact with certain infected body fluids, which makes HIV testing crucial for the following individuals:

• Individuals with multiple sexual partners or those who have had unprotected sex with infected individuals.
• People sharing needles/syringes or receiving blood transfusions.
• Healthcare workers handling body fluids.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.
• Anyone undergoing major surgery.

HIV may produce the following symptoms in early or later stages of the infection, and calls for testing to confirm the diagnosis:

• Persistent fever
• Muscle aches
• Joint pain
• Night sweats
• Sore throat
• Diarrhoea
• Skin rash
• Sudden weight loss

This test checks for infection by two different types of the virus. The differences between the two are mentioned in the table below:

What to Expect Before the Test

• Fasting is usually not required.
• Inform your doctor about all current medications or any recent exposure.
• Always consult your healthcare provider for any special instructions beforehand.

What to Expect During the Sample Collection

Blood sample collection is simple and quick. The steps for the same are explained below:

• A phlebotomist ties an elastic band around your upper arm to improve access to the veins.
• The skin is cleaned with an antiseptic, and a needle is inserted into the located vein.
• After the sample is collected, the needle is withdrawn, and a bandage is placed over the site to prevent minor bleeding.

What to Expect After the Test

• The test procedure is generally safe, with minimal to no risks.
• If you feel dizzy, sit and relax for a few minutes to recover.

Note: If you notice bruising, pain, or a rash at the puncture site after the test, consult your healthcare provider.

The body produces special proteins against the virus that are detectable in the blood sample and help confirm HIV infection. The table below explains what test results mean.

Important note: Test results may vary from lab to lab. Early testing during the window period may give false results. Always consult your healthcare professional for interpretation of your test results.

• Window period: Testing too early may yield a false-negative result, as antibodies may not appear during the initial weeks of HIV infection.
• Supplements: High doses of biotin (vitamin B7) can occasionally interfere with lab results. It is best to skip it for 24 hours before the test.
• Sampling errors: Poor sample handling can cause errors and lead to false results.
